Kazakhstan has joined the '50-in-5' global campaign, which brings countries together to speed up the implementation of key components of digital public infrastructure (DPI). These technologies are forming the basis for the creation of modern, convenient, proactive public services that improve citizens' quality of life and develop the digital economy.Digital public infrastructure comprises secure and interoperable systems for digital payments, identification and data exchange. In the digital age, it has become a prerequisite for full participation in economic and social life. DPI is necessary for all countries to develop sustainable, innovative economies and ensure people's well-being.The main goal of the '50-in-5' campaign is for 50 countries to have implemented at least one DPI component by 2028. This is in recognition that exchanging experiences and jointly developing solutions using open digital products can ultimately reduce costs and accelerate transformation."In Kazakhstan, the focus of digital transformation is on people, not technology for technology's sake. To achieve this, we are creating a transparent, understandable and effective digital state, where every step is taken for the benefit of citizens and their interests. Digital solutions reduce distances, enabling us to stay closer to people, no matter where they live. Joining the '50 in 5' campaign is another important step that will enable us to reduce costs and accelerate our human-centred digital transformation in the future," said Zhaslan Madiyev, Minister of Digital Development, Innovations and Aerospace Industry of the Republic of Kazakhstan.Kazakhstan is already implementing key elements of digital public infrastructure that are operating and scaling successfully across the country. The eGov Mobile application is the central element of the digital identification system (Digital ID). This official e-government superapp provides secure authentication and remote identity verification, as well as access to a wide range of public services. Today, more than 11 million people in Kazakhstan use the eGov Mobile application, which has 5.3 million monthly active users and an average of 350,000 daily active users. The "Services" section offers 200 services, and over 82 million services have been provided through eGov Mobile since its launch.The "Digital Documents" section attracts the special attention of users, as it already contains 38 types of electronic documents, ranging from identity card to driving licence. This feature has been used over 25 million times since its launch.Smart Data Ukimet is an information and analytical platform that integrates 124 information systems of government agencies in Kazakhstan, facilitating the exchange of data between government systems. This integration makes it possible to develop proactive public services that are automatically initiated in response to citizens' real-life situations. To date, 45 proactive services have been developed, mainly of a social nature – they are focused on providing targeted assistance to citizens, including those facing difficult real-life situations. In total, such services have been provided more than 4.3 million times. They form the basis of a national data exchange system along with the e-Government Gateway and Smart Bridge.'50-in-5' is a country-led campaign to accelerate the digital agenda through the adoption of digital public infrastructure. It is coordinated in collaboration with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the Center for Digital Public Infrastructure, Co-Develop, the Digital Public Goods Alliance, and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), with additional support from GovStack, the Inter-American Development Bank, UNICEF, and UN Women.The '50-in-5' campaign gives countries the opportunity to share experiences with digital leaders, explore international best practices and receive technical and methodological support. For Kazakhstan, participating in this initiative provides an opportunity to strengthen national capacities in digital development and take a step towards establishing a sustainable digital infrastructure that serves the interests of every citizen. Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/mdai/press/news/details/1023778?lang=kk
