Publications
Since 1995 we have sponsored the preparation and participatory discussions of National Human Development Reports. The Reports tackle issues of topical importance for the country and serve as a useful reference source for policy makers, researchers and the general public.
In addition to national reports on human development, UNDP Kazakhstan conducts researches on development issues of Kazakhstan. Such reports promote expansion of national dialogue promoting development of a national policy. UNDP has published a number of the thematic publications which cover issues related to environmental problems, development of human rights institutions, gender issues, status of the NGOs, poverty, rural development, communication technologies, the status of repatriates, etc. Publications are accessible to viewing in a Publications Database.
Our publications can also be found in the joint Information Centre for Development of UNDP, World Bank and ADB, which was launched in September 2005. Information Centre is located in the premises of the National Academic Library of Kazakhstan in Astana (11, Dostyk str.).

The National Human Development Report for 2009 ‘From Exclusion to Equality: Realising the Rights of Persons with Disabilities’ was launched in July and focuses on the question of how to create the conditions for adequate realisation of the rights of persons with disabilities in Kazakhstan. The report, which is the country’s first comprehensive study on the status of persons with disabilities, outlines a road map of measures the government needs to take to meet its obligations and improve the standard of living for persons with disabilities. This was the first time when online discussions were used during preparation process of the Report, allowing to get feedback from all stakeholders, including disabled persons from all over our country. The report was released using accessible formats: Braille fonts and DAISY audio. |

The UNDP project supporting NHRAP fostered national capacity to protect and promote human rights. Kazakhstan is scheduled to appear before the Human Rights Council for the Universal Periodic Review process in 2010, where the government will report on their achievements and challenges in human rights. The developed National Human Rights Action Plan (NHRAP) for 2009-2012 was officially launched in June 2009. The plan focuses on three areas: a) improved performance of human rights institutions; b) aligning legislation with international norms and standards; and, c) promotion of human rights education. Kazakhstan’s NHRAP is the first of its kind in Central Asia. |
