Abstract

Kazakhstan’s economy and society have undergone deep transformations since the country declared independence in 1991. Kazakhstan’s growth performance since 2000 has been impressive, averaging almost 8% per annum in real terms and leading to job creation and progress in the well-being of its citizens. Extractive industries play an important role in the dynamism of the economy, but sources of growth beyond natural resource sectors remain underexploited. In the social arena, dimensions of well-being beyond incomes and jobs have not kept pace with economic growth. Kazakhstan has set itself the goal of becoming one of the 30 most developed countries in the world by 2050. To sustain rapid, inclusive and sustainable growth and social progress, Kazakhstan will need to overcome a number of significant challenges. Natural-resource dependency, the concentration of economic clout and a fragile and underdeveloped financial sector limit diversification and economic dynamism. Widespread corruption still affects multiple state functions, undermines the business environment, meritocracy and entrepreneurial spirit. More generally, the state has limited capacity to fulfil some of its functions, which affects the delivery of public services like health and education, as well as the protection of the environment and the generation of skills.

Abstract

Achieving sustainable development depends on good governance practices, particularly the effective implementation of national sustainable development strategies which integrate government decision-making in the economic, environmental and social spheres. This volume contains recommendations for the true “institutionalisation” of sustainable development.  Institutionalisation will embed the concept in government operations for the long-term and will reduce the vulnerability of sustainable development aims to shorter-term political objectives.

Abstract

This series helps countries to identify and overcome binding constraints to achieving higher levels of well-being and more equitable and sustainable growth. The Development Pathways are based on Multi-dimensional Country Reviews, which take into account policy interactions and the country-specific policy environment through three phases. The first phase comprises an initial assessment of the constraints to development. The second phase involves an in-depth analysis of the main issues resulting in detailed policy recommendations. The third phase is designed to move from paper to action and to support government efforts in developing strategies and implementing policy recommendations.

Abstract

Les pays en développement ont de plus en plus recours à des politiques et des plans nationaux stratégiques, dont l'efficacité dépendra de l'évaluation correcte de la vulnérabilité de ce pays au changement climatique. Ce rapport se fonde sur les pratiques de suivi et d'évaluation qui émergent des pays développés et en développement, et identifie quatre outils que les pays peuvent utiliser dans leurs propres cadres d'évaluation: 1) l'évaluation des risques et vulnérabilités liés au changement climatique, 2) des indicateurs pour suivre les progrès réalisés quant aux priorités d'adaptation, 3) l’évaluation de projets ou programmes, permettant de recenser les approches d'adaptation les plus efficaces, et 4) des audits nationaux et suivi des dépenses liées au climat. La combinaison appropriée d'outils pour suivre et évaluer l'adaptation nationale au changement climatique sera dans une large mesure déterminée par la disponibilité des données, la capacité de suivi et d'évaluation, et la capacité donnée d’un pays à réunir les producteurs et les utilisateurs d'informations climatiques pertinentes. Le rapport examine également comment les apporteurs de coopération pour le développement peuvent soutenir les pays partenaires dans leurs efforts pour suivre et évaluer l'adaptation.
