In July 2025, Kazakhstan, among 39 countries, will present the third Voluntary National Review at the High-level political forum on Sustainable Development, which will be held at the UN Headquarters in New York. The Forum is one of the main international platforms where countries share their experiences and progress in implementing the UN 2030 Agenda.

The review is being conducted by the Ministry of National Economy in cooperation with government agencies, civil society, business and international partners. The process is coordinated by the Coordinating Council for Sustainable Development Goals, which has approved the training plan.

The draft review has already been discussed at regional seminars held with the support of UNDP and the Institute of Economic Research. Representatives of all key groups, including young people, participated in the dialogue.

At the same time, the country continues to integrate the Sustainable Development Goals into the state planning system. In October 2024, an updated list of national indicators was approved: 69 out of 200 indicators were identified as priorities. As of today, 93% of them have already been taken into account in the documents of the state planning system, and at the regional level they are fully included in the regional development plans.

Thus, Kazakhstan is consistently moving towards achieving sustainable and inclusive growth, improving the quality of public administration and strengthening its position in the international arena.

This is the third review that Kazakhstan will present at the UN. Previously, similar reports were successfully presented in 2019 and 2022 and were highly appreciated by international partners. Participation in the 2025 forum will confirm the country's commitment to the global agenda and strengthen cooperation with the international community.

Background: The Voluntary National Review reflects the country's progress towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals since the adoption of the 2030 Agenda. It promotes the exchange of experience, the strengthening of government institutions and the involvement of a wide range of partners in the implementation of global challenges.
