Kazakhstan
The Challenge
Kazakhstan continues to enjoy robust economic growth; however, Kazakhstan is showing little inclination to embrace greater democracy. The December 4 presidential elections were a test of the Government's true commitment to democratic reform. While the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe noted some improvements in the electoral process, overall, international standards were not met. Development challenges include competitiveness and diversification, over-reliance on oil, rampant corruption, undermined rule of law and governance, and low investments in health and education. USAID will continue to improve the business environment for the growth of a middle class; help support more responsive financial institutions; enhance implementation of laws and regulations; help strengthen civil society and media; help reduce trafficking in persons; improve quality of primary health; reduce the spread of infectious diseases; and improve management of energy and water resources.
