About
Kazakhstan is a strategic U.S. partner in Central Asia. The country is becoming increasingly influential in the region and the world as its economy stabilizes as the result of targeted economic reforms. Nevertheless, Kazakhstan continues to face a number of development challenges, many of which have their roots in the Soviet era.
Key development challenges in Kazakhstan include a regulatory system that impedes business growth; limited media activity and low civic participation in governance; and a costly and ineffective medical system.
USAID is partnering with the government, the private sector, and the people of Kazakhstan to enhance economic diversification, encourage further democratic reforms, and improve tuberculosis and HIV prevention and health care services.
