10 лет Госкорпорации «Правительство для граждан»: как изменилась система госуслуг в Казахстане7 апреля Госкорпорации «Правительство для граждан» исполняется 10 лет. За это время она стала ключевым звеном между государством и гражданами - сегодня через её сервисы ежегодно проходят десятки миллионов обращений, а большинство госуслуг доступны казахстанцам по принуиципу «одного окна».За эти годы удалось выстроить единую инфраструктуру предоставления государственных услуг по всей стране, сделав их более удобными и доступными для граждан. В работу внедрены терминалы самообслуживания, видеоЦОН, биометрическая идентификация, а ключевые процессы переведены в цифровой формат.Масштаб изменений отражают цифры: ежегодно через центры обслуживания населения оказывается в среднем более 23 млн услуг, ещё миллионы обращений обрабатываются через цифровые каналы, включая мобильные приложения и онлайн-сервисы.Цифровизация стала ключевым фактором этих изменений. Сегодня большинство государственных услуг доступно онлайн, а взаимодействие с ними всё чаще происходит через цифровые каналы. Приложение «ЦОН» фактически стало «ЦОНом в кармане»: только за 2025 год его установили более 2 миллионов пользователей. Через него граждане могут записаться на приём, получить электронный талон, отслеживать статус заявок и пользоваться сервисом по полученю госуслуг без посещения фронт-офисов.Единый контакт-центр 1414, который в этом году отмечает 15-летие, остаётся важным каналом поддержки и работает 24/7. С 2021 года он входит в состав Госкорпорации и в среднем обрабатывает от 20 до 25 миллионов обращений в год. Центр активно внедряет цифровые решения: уже сегодня каждый десятый звонок обрабатывается с участием ИИ-ассистента, который помогает уточнить запрос и направить пользователя к нужной услуге. Наряду с развитием цифровых сервисов Госкорпорация активно развивает и цифровую грамотность населения, организуя обучение по всей стране. Занятия проходят во всех регионах Казахстана в центрах обслуживания населения в формате практических занятий. Только за март по всей стране около 700 казахстанцев повысили уровень цифровой грамотности.«Миссия Госкорпорации - быть ключевым драйвером трансформации системы государственных услуг. За эти годы нам удалось выстроить сервис, ориентированный на реальные потребности граждан: сделать услуги доступными, качественными и удобными на каждом этапе жизни. Мы работаем по принципу “слышащего государства”, где голос каждого человека - ориентир для развития. Наша задача - не просто предоставлять услуги, а быть надёжным партнёром для граждан, формируя открытую и инклюзивную цифровую среду без барьеров», - отметил Председатель Правления Госкорпорации «Правительство для граждан» Арман Кенжегалиев.Опыт Госкорпорации «Правительство для граждан» вызывает интерес и за пределами Казахстана. В разные годы её посетили делегации из Монголии, Японии, Узбекистана и других стран, где знакомились с практикой оказания госуслуг и цифровыми решениями.За этим интересом - сформированная за 10 лет система, которая прошла путь от разрозненных услуг к единой инфраструктуре, выстроенной вокруг удобства граждан. Сегодня Госкорпорация объединяет услуги ЦОНов, специализированных ЦОНов, земельного кадастра, социального и пенсионного обеспечения, а также направления РАГС и недвижимости.В этой работе задействованы почти 16 тысяч специалистов, ежедневно обеспечивающих доступность и качество услуг. В итоге этот путь - не только про цифры и процессы, но и про доверие, ответственность и системную работу, благодаря которой взаимодействие гражданина с государством стало проще, понятнее и комфортнее.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/vko-ridder/press/news/details/1212347?lang=kk
