According to the President, the “Taza Kazakstan” initiative should not be a one-time campaign but should become a way of life for Kazakhstan’s citizens.The aim of the event was to increase environmental awareness among the population, promote environmentally responsible behavior, and engage residents in environmental protection efforts through interactive and educational formats.Participants of the platform had the opportunity to test their knowledge of current environmental issues in an accessible and engaging format. The central element of the event was a thematic wheel, which allowed residents to select questions and tasks of varying difficulty levels. This format helped reinforce knowledge while drawing attention to waste separation, responsible attitudes toward nature, and personal responsibility for maintaining a clean environment.According to Kaidar Abilkhair, Specialist of the Youth Initiatives Department at the Center for Public Development and Information, such events contribute to developing environmental awareness among the population.“Today, it is important not only to talk about ecology but also to involve people in this work through clear and engaging formats. The interactive platform gives participants an opportunity to learn more about waste separation, responsible attitudes toward nature, and personal responsibility for environmental cleanliness in a playful way. Every resident can contribute to the implementation of the ‘Taza Kazakstan’ initiative,” Kaidar Abilkhair said.The organizers emphasized that the platform was part of comprehensive efforts aimed at environmental education, promoting initiatives focused on preserving a clean environment, and encouraging environmentally responsible behavior among residents of the region. #TazaKazakstan #sustainabledevelopment #cleanCountry #ecology #TazaChallenge @TazaQazaqstanSource : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/sko/press/news/details/1250403?lang=ru

Thanks to the measures taken, there is a steady downward trend in youth unemployment in the region.As part of the instructions of the Head of State to increase employment in the country, the Roadmap "Fair Kazakhstan – for everyone" is being implemented. According to the document, it is planned to provide employment for more than 3.3 million citizens by 2030, of which at least 2.2 million should be young people.Over the past five years, the youth unemployment rate in Kostanay region has decreased from 3 to 2.1 percent. This indicator is lower than the national average. The region has consistently implemented government measures aimed at promoting youth employment, adapting them to the requirements of the modern labor market and increasing their professional potential.Since the beginning of this year, about 5,000 young people have applied to the employment authorities in search of work. Of these, almost 3,500 have already been employed. Some of the youth are sent to subsidized jobs, while others have completed short-term vocational training. In addition, young residents of the region had the opportunity to master the basics of entrepreneurship within the framework of the Bastau Business project and implement their own business initiatives.As of June 1, 2025, 2,653 unemployed young citizens were registered in the region. Of these, 430 people participate in active employment promotion measures, and 1,246 receive social benefits due to job loss.Over the past three years, the number of registered unemployed between the ages of 16 and 35 has more than halved. In 2022, 7,458 young people were registered with the employment authorities, but today this figure has decreased to 3,482 people. This indicates the effectiveness of the implemented state support measures and the positive dynamics in the regional labor market.Last year, 13.8 thousand young residents of the region were covered by employment promotion measures. They were employed in social jobs, took part in a youth practice program, completed vocational training, and were involved in community service.

A pilot project for confectionery labeling began in Kazakhstan on June 1, 2026, and will run until June 1, 2027. This is the latest step in the country's digital product traceability policy, designed to protect the market from counterfeiting and increase supply chain transparency.Leading industry companies have already joined the project. Domestic producers include Bayan Sulu LLC and Lotte Rakhat LLC, while importers include Mars Kazakhstan LLC, Ferrero Kazakhstan LLC, Mondelez Kazakhstan LLC, and Nestlé Food Kazakhstan LLC. According to the Atameken National Chamber of Entrepreneurs, Bayan Sulu and Rakhat together account for approximately 50% of domestic confectionery production, and including imports, approximately 30% of the total market. This makes the pilot project highly representative and ensures the participation of key industry players.In accordance with the EAEU agreement, the following main categories of confectionery products are subject to labeling: sugar confectionery, chocolate and chocolate products, cookies, wafers, flour confectionery, marmalade, jams, fruit and nut spreads, and other products.The pilot phase aims to identify technical and organizational risks, assess the need for refinement of business processes, and formulate proposals for improving the regulatory framework. Participants will have the opportunity to freely test the functionality of the labeling and traceability information system, practice integrating the labeling tool with production and logistics processes, and test various methods of applying codes to products.Digital labeling is designed to protect consumers from counterfeit and illegal products, increase supply chain transparency, ensure fair competition, and create conditions for industry development. A decision on introducing mandatory labeling will be made based on the pilot project's results and proposals from market participants.Mandatory labeling in Kazakhstan is already in effect for footwear, tobacco products, pharmaceuticals, beer, motor oil, and saiga derivatives. Labeling of dietary supplements is planned for September of this year, and for light industry goods and jewelry in December. Pilot projects for labeling liquefied gas in household cylinders and wood have already been completed, and pilot projects for labeling vegetable oil, household chemicals, and cosmetics are underway.To join the pilot project, manufacturers, importers, and other participants must submit an application to the Single Operator for Labeling and Traceability of Goods at info@digitaleconomy.kz.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/mti/press/news/details/1249665?lang=ru
