The National Fund for Children 16.02.2026
The National Fund for Children Topical Questions about the UAPF  How can I verify that my child has become a participant in the "National Fund for Children" program?To verify, visit kids.enpf.kz and enter your child's IIN in the "Participant Search" section. Then click "Check." You will then receive information indicating the year your child became a participant in the program, as well as the total amount of their accumulated target requirements.  What is the difference between target requirements and target savings?Target requirements are the Government's obligations to children who are citizens of Kazakhstan and under 18 years of age. Target requirements are formed annually from 50% of the National Fund's investment income. Target requirements are accrued and recorded in UAPF accounts, but the assets themselves continue to be invested as part of the National Fund's assets, and additional investment income is accrued on them annually.Targeted savings are previously accumulated amounts of target requirements that are credited to the target savings accounts of Kazakhstani recipients in the year they reach their 18th birthday.Therefore, upon reaching age 18, target requirements become target savings. They are accrued and stored in each program participant's target savings account in the UAPF, denominated in US dollars.  After target savings are transferred from the National Fund to the UAPF, will they accrue investment income?Target savings credited to target savings accounts in the UAPF are not invested in financial instruments. They are held in US dollars and are available for use by recipients of target savings or their heirs.  Can children from the same family transfer their target savings to each other, such as by assigning lump-sum pension benefit payments for housing and medical treatment?The assignment of target savings payments for the purpose of improving housing conditions or paying for education in favor of close relatives is not provided for by current legislation.  My child has already opened an account in the UAPF and his target savings have been transferred there. Who can use them?After reaching 18 years of age, your child will have the right to independently use their savings for two purposes: improving housing conditions or paying for education. To do this, they must submit an application to the Authorized Operators.Currently, the Authorized Operators are:Otbasy Bank JSC (for housing and education),Halyk Bank of Kazakhstan JSC (for education),Bank CenterCredit JSC (for education).  Can parents check the savings?Parents or legal guardians of a minor can view their child's savings on the kids.enpf.kz website, in the eGov mobile app, and in the apps of some banks. When the child turns 18, a targeted savings account will be opened for them in the UAPF, which only they, as the recipient of the targeted savings, will have access to.  A child's UAPF account was opened and the targeted savings were transferred. However, one month before turning 18, the family changed their citizenship. What will happen to their targeted savings? If a participant in the targeted claims or recipient of targeted savings loses their citizenship of the Republic of Kazakhstan before or after turning 18, they lose the right to receive payment of their targeted savings. Their targeted claims and targeted savings will be distributed among other participants in the established manner, and their targeted savings account will be closed.  In the event of the death of a participant in the target requirements or recipient of target savings, what documents and where should the heir receive them to receive the inherited target savings? In the event of the death of a participant in the "National Fund for Children" program, their target requirements or target savings are inherited in accordance with civil law. To receive them, the heirs must contact the UAPF. Funds are available only after the deceased's target savings have been credited to the target savings account. To receive payments, the heirs must open a US dollar bank account with an authorized bank.The heirs can use the funds for any purpose, meaning the mandatory requirement for their intended use is waived.A current list of required documents for processing payments in connection with the death of a person with target savings is posted on the UAPF website.  Is it possible to use target savings in parts, rather than in full? Targeted savings in a target savings account can be used an unlimited number of times within the limits of the available target savings, as designated, provided the recipient is 18 years of age or older and holds Kazakh citizenship.  What should I do if information is released indicating that my child is not a citizen of the Republic of Kazakhstan? If a child with the specified IIN, according to information in the State Database of Individuals, is not a citizen of the Republic of Kazakhstan, they are therefore not a participant in the "National Fund for Children" program and cannot have the target requirements.To update the information in the State Database of Individuals, we recommend contacting the migration service at their place of residence.After making the appropriate adjustments, the UAPF will add the child to the list of children eligible for target requirements or recipients of target savings, taking into account the missed period.  In what currency will the accumulation and subsequent transfer of target savings to the recipient of the target savings be made? According to Kazakhstan law, target requirements and target savings are recorded in the UAPF in US dollars. Upon payment, target savings are transferred and credited to the recipients' bank accounts opened with authorized US dollar operators.  In which banks can I open a bank account to receive payments from the National Fund? Are there any criteria or requirements for banks participating in the National Fund for Children project? The law does not impose any restrictions on second-tier banks, meaning any second-tier bank in Kazakhstan that has entered into a relevant agreement with the UAPF can participate in the program. Currently, the authorized operator banks are:Otbasy Bank JSC (for housing and education),Halyk Bank of Kazakhstan JSC (for education),Bank CenterCredit JSC (for education).  We moved to our historical homeland of Kazakhstan and have "qandas" status. Can our child participate in the "National Fund for Children" project?A citizen of the Republic of Kazakhstan under 18 years of age is eligible to participate in the targeted requirements. After receiving Kazakhstan citizenship, your child will be eligible to participate in the "National Fund for Children" project.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/vko-ulan/press/news/details/1162039?lang=kk

The person is at the heart of public policy: opinions of deputies, lawyers and political scientists on the main direction of the new Constitution 15.02.2026
The person is at the heart of public policy: opinions of deputies, lawyers and political scientists on the main direction of the new Constitution During the "Referendum-2026" online marathon, Azat Peruashev, deputy of the Majilis, head of the Ak Zhol party faction, Indira Aubakirova, director of the Institute of Legislation and Legal Information of the Ministry of Justice of the Republic of Kazakhstan, and political scientist Burikhan Nurmukhamedov shared their opinions. "Anything done in our state should be evaluated by the criterion of "whether it is in the interests of the person or not?" This means that, whether it is the authorities or civil society institutions, the decision should always be evaluated from the perspective of whether it harms the life of a person. The person, his rights and freedoms should be at the heart of our entire life in Kazakhstan," said Indira Aubakirova. In turn, Azat Peruashev drew attention to a number of important innovations in the new Constitution. In particular, the ban on eviction from housing without a court decision, as well as the right of a citizen to demand compensation for damage caused by the actions of state bodies or officials. "For the first time, the concept of advocacy was introduced in the Constitution. In fact, this document is aimed at the individual. It strengthens the rights of citizens in their relations with state bodies, including dishonest officials," said Azat Peruashev. At the same time, the Majilis emphasized that much depends on the citizens themselves, and how prepared they are to protect their constitutional rights is important. Political scientist Burikhan Nurmukhamedov also expressed confidence that citizens and political parties will most effectively use the rights and freedoms granted in the Constitution to protect and promote their interests and develop the country.
"Rapid Development City": What will change for the regions 15.02.2026
The new Constitution of Kazakhstan will include a new tool for the accelerated development of individual regions. How this mechanism will accelerate the regional economy, Majilis deputies explained during the Referendum-2026 online marathon. Mazhilis deputy Askhat Rakhimzhanov said that this mechanism is primarily aimed at attracting additional foreign investment to the regions. According to him, this will allow for the effective realization of the potential of each region, taking into account its specifics. This approach has a multiplier effect: not only a single city will benefit from development, but also its surrounding territories and additional economic sectors. "As for security issues, it should be noted that they are not intended to be considered separately. The Constitution clearly establishes the territorial integrity and indivisibility of the country. The structure of state power remains unchanged. At the same time, the adoption of appropriate constitutional laws for cities of rapid development is envisaged. All decisions are made within the existing legal framework and under the control of state bodies. The special legal regime is aimed at creating additional conditions for their development," concluded Askhat Rakhimzhanov.

Unicameral Parliament: a guarantee of transparency and fair competition - Nurlan Beknazarov About the Kuryltai 14.02.2026
One of the major changes in the new Constitution is the establishment of the Kurultai. The draft law changes not only the name of the Parliament, but also its basic structure. Now the number of deputies will be 145, and there will be only one chamber. During the online marathon "Referendum-2026", Senator Nurlan Beknazarov spoke about the differences of the previous Parliament. "Now the country will have a unicameral Parliament. Its name has been changed to the Kurultai. The number of deputies is clearly determined, and all of them will be formed according to party lists, that is, through a proportional electoral system. A total of 145 deputies will be elected through popular elections. This system ensures the transparency of the work of the Parliament. In addition, the parties that have passed the Kurultai will discuss their election programs, promises to the people and directions on one platform, and will actively participate in improving the country's well-being, developing the economy, and adopting important laws that determine domestic and foreign policy. Thus, fair political competition will be established between the parties. Populism will not be tolerated in such an environment," the senator said.

Therefore, we should be proud of it," said B. Nurmukhanov at the Referendum-2026 online marathon. He also noted that the idea of a Just Kazakhstan was included in the Constitution. "Just at the end of last year, the main principles and principles of domestic policy were approved by the Decree of the Head of State.

Aidarbek Kozhanazarov: It was important to enshrine the issue of digital personal data protection in our Constitution 14.02.2026
At the "Referendum-2026" online marathon, Deputy of the Majilis of the Parliament of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Member of the Constitutional Commission, Aidarbek Kozhanazarov spoke about the opinions and proposals received from the public on the protection of digital personal data, protection of private property, and transparency. "The most important thing is that we have been discussing an issue for a long time, which is digital security, digital data protection, and the protection of citizens' rights not only offline, but also online. We also included it in the Digital Code in the Majilis. But it was very important to enshrine it in our Constitution. We have witnessed how many of our citizens' data have been leaked online, and fraudsters have used it to steal our citizens' money. To prevent this, to cope with this, it was necessary to protect digital data, it was very important to strengthen it and bring it to the right level," said A. Kozhanazarov. The Majilis deputy touched upon other important issues. "Several citizens have approached me with this issue, which is to protect a private home, a person's shelter, to assert that no one has the right to evict him from his home without a court decision. This is a very important article. Various situations are happening now. Such a decision was made to prevent this from happening. Another issue that was considered during the discussion of our Constitution is openness and consultation with the people. Which country in the 21st century, when writing the Constitution, consulted with the entire population, collected their opinions and broadcast it live? I think Kazakhstan is in first place in terms of openness," said A. Kozhanazarov.

In his opinion, Kazakhstan has entered a new era. "We have ended the oil era in Kazakhstan. Oil may continue to be found, but with the advent of a new digital era, we now need an economy based not on oil energy, but on human energy. The share of small and medium-sized businesses in our country has now reached 40%. This is a great achievement. But we need to increase it even more," said Aidos Sarym. He also highlighted one of the key changes in the draft Constitution. "In one article, it used to be said: 'The source of power is the people.' Now we say: 'The source and bulwark of sovereignty is the people,'" said Aidos Sarym. The Majilis deputy also said that the future of Kazakhstan lies in education, science, and innovation. "Kazakhstan has taken an important step by adopting the Law on Artificial Intelligence and the Digital Code. We have achieved a lot.
