Implementation of the “Taza Kazakhstan” Program and Sanitary Conditions in the Region Discussed in Aktobe 11.07.2026
During a staff meeting chaired by Akim of the region Askhat Shakharov, participants discussed the implementation of the environmental program “Taza Kazakhstan,” as well as the state of sanitary cleaning and landscaping in the city and districts of the region.According to Isatay Espaganbetov, Head of the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Management Regulation, the Aktobe Region continues its transition toward a more technological and systematic model of environmental management.To monitor air quality, four automated monitoring stations are planned to be installed in the region. They will be located in the Altyn Orda and Yeset Batyr residential districts, as well as in the village of Birshogyr in the Shalkar District. The stations are designed to monitor ambient air quality in real time.A green belt covering 15 hectares will be established around Aktobe, while 10-hectare green zones will be created around district centers. Tree planting activities will continue until November 1. This spring, a total of 46.7 thousand saplings were planted across the region.Isatay Espaganbetov also highlighted the work of the Telegram bot @TazaQazBot, created within the framework of the national environmental program “Taza Kazakhstan.” The service enables residents to promptly report illegal dumpsites, landscaping issues, environmental pollution, and other ecological concerns.“Residents of the region regularly submit requests through the ‘Taza Kazakhstan’ chatbot. All applications remain under continuous monitoring, and appropriate measures are taken for each case. This tool helps ensure a prompt response to issues and facilitates effective feedback from the public,” the speaker explained.Aktobe Akim Azamat Beket noted that comprehensive cleaning of streets and public spaces is carried out on a regular basis in the city, including mechanized cleaning of sidewalks, bus stops, parks, and public gardens, as well as the removal of bulky and illegally dumped waste.A total of 88 units of specialized equipment and 345 municipal workers are involved in these activities. Sanitary maintenance of the city is carried out across 16 sectors assigned to contractor organizations.Summer road maintenance work is being conducted on 711 streets and in 54 residential areas. More than 200 workers and over 100 units of specialized equipment are engaged in the cleanup operations. All equipment is fitted with GPS trackers, enabling monitoring of the quality and volume of work performed.Under new contracts, contractor organizations have been designated to provide sanitary maintenance and road network servicing until mid-2026. Their responsibilities include cleaning, watering, sweeping, road surface leveling, and roadside maintenance.According to Azamat Beket, the GPS monitoring system allows real-time tracking of specialized equipment operations and enhances transparency and quality control.After hearing the reports, Regional Akim Askhat Shakharov instructed officials to strengthen sanitary cleaning efforts, eliminate illegal dumpsites, expand digital monitoring tools, and improve the effectiveness of environmental initiatives.Askhat Shakharov emphasized that the implementation of the “Taza Kazakhstan” program should move to a qualitatively new level—from one-time events to systematic and sustainable work.“Today, environmental activities must be based on modern digital solutions and continuous monitoring. It is necessary to accelerate the introduction of air quality monitoring systems, strengthen efforts to eliminate illegal dumpsites, and ensure transparent accounting of municipal solid waste removal. Special attention should be paid to greening populated areas and implementing all planned activities within the established deadlines. It is also important to actively use the capabilities of the ‘Taza Kazakhstan’ chatbot to promptly respond to residents’ concerns. Only through the shared responsibility of the state, businesses, and citizens can we ensure a clean and comfortable living environment,” the regional head stressed.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/aktobe-zhastar1/press/news/details/1245640?lang=ru
