Corruption is a challenge that humanity has faced for centuries. Today, in the context of globalization, its consequences are becoming especially noticeable, as corruption slows down the development of society, reduces trust in government institutions and threatens economic stability. The State is systematically working to eradicate this phenomenon, focusing on prevention, improving legislation and forming an anti-corruption culture.Digital technologies are actively used in the prevention of corruption to minimize the human factor, which reduces corruption risks. Today, more than 93% of public services in Kazakhstan are available in electronic format, and remote monitoring mechanisms make it possible to quickly identify violations. Administrative barriers and all kinds of red tape are perceived as extortion or abuse of official authority. Our task is to develop a convenient and transparent system for providing public services that meets modern expectations of citizens. Such comprehensive measures create conditions for eliminating direct interaction when receiving services, reducing risks, and ultimately minimizing corruption by ensuring the quality of service for citizens.The rotation of civil servants has become another tool for preventing corruption. This mechanism helps not only to reduce the risks of offenses, but also to prevent professional burnout, increasing the efficiency of the state apparatus. In addition, since 2019, political responsibility of managers for corrupt actions of subordinates has been introduced. In 2024, a change was introduced in which the appointment of employees to another political position does not exempt them from the obligation to resign for corruption by subordinates at their previous place of work.In order to strengthen control over the expenditure of public funds, a project is being implemented and scaled up to introduce a "money coloring" mechanism for budget disbursement. This mechanism is implemented on the digital tenge platform and is an important tool for ensuring transparency and minimizing corruption risks when spending funds. It allows you to track the use of budget money at all stages — from allocation to full development. Each tenge receives a unique digital tag, which eliminates the possibility of theft and promotes the rational use of the budget.The improvement of legislation remains a key element of the anti-corruption policy. In recent years, strict regulations have been introduced in Kazakhstan: a ban on gifts for civil servants, increased financial control through universal declaration, and tougher sanctions for corruption crimes. Those convicted of such crimes are prohibited from holding public office, and citizens who report corruption receive significant rewards. Measures have been taken to protect the labor rights of citizens who reported corruption from unjustified dismissaThe improvement of legislation remains a key element of the anti-corruption policy.

Those convicted of such crimes are prohibited from holding public office, and citizens who report corruption receive significant rewards. Measures have been taken to protect the labor rights of citizens who reported corruption from unjustified dismissal. Among the new measures is a ban on visits to gambling establishments and participation in gambling for government employees. These measures increase trust in the state and encourage citizens to actively fight corruption.Prevention plays an important role. Corruption risk analyses are actively conducted in the region. In 2024, more than 600 legal and organizational risks were eliminated, as well as 80 cases of conflicts of interest. Due to transparency and strict control, these changes have become part of the daily work of government agencies.One of the important achievements was the strengthening of interaction between society and the state. The concept of a "Hearing State" in Kostanay region is implemented through the media, social networks, open meetings and events with citizens. Actions such as the "People's Lawyer" are regularly held, where residents receive legal support and advice.Special attention is paid to the formation of an anti-corruption culture. Regular events are held with civil servants aiSpecial attention is paid to the formation of an anti-corruption culture. Regular events are held with civil servants aimed at raising awareness of the norms of legislation on civil service, anti-corruption and the Code of ethics. Live broadcasts are organized with the heads of government agencies, where issues of combating corruption and informing citizens are discussed. We pay attention to working with young people to form an anti-corruption culture from an early age. ActionActions such as the "Hour of Integrity" are held annually, which reach thousands of students and schoolchildren. The curricula include topics on honesty and fairness.
