In Kazakhstan, the “Green Corridor” mechanism is used to fast-track and prioritize the delivery of public services for investment projects. The functionality is implemented within the “e-Licensing” information system and is used in interactions between investors and government agencies. The solution was launched on June 7, 2025.The mechanism applies to investment projects that meet the established criteria, including investment volume parameters. The full list of criteria is available in the Rules for the organization of the “one-stop shop” for investors.It enables public services to be obtained within shorter timeframes through the priority review of applications by government agencies.The approach is implemented digitally through the “e-Licensing” platform and forms part of the state policy to enhance the investment climate and implement the one-stop shop principle for investors.The mechanism covers more than 400 public services in the “e-Licensing” system. Following the assignment of “Green Corridor” participant status to an investment project, applications are considered on a priority and accelerated basis, with the investor application submission process remaining unchanged."The implementation of the “Green Corridor” mechanism is part of a systematic effort to create a comfortable and investor-friendly investment climate. It makes it possible to consolidate project support and embed the one-stop shop principle within digital public services. To date, more than 4.700 public services have been delivered under the mechanism via the elicense.kz platform” said Aigerim Yerlan, Deputy Chairperson of the Public Services Committee under the Ministry of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Development of the Republic of Kazakhstan.The system features a dedicated visual indicator for government agencies. In the list of applications, a marker confirming “Green Corridor” participant status is displayed next to the applicant’s identification code number. This allows such applications to be promptly identified during the review process.The support of investment projects based on the one-stop shop principle is provided via the National Digital Investment Platform (NDIP). The use of the NDIP in combination with the “Green Corridor” functionality ensures end-to-end digital support for investment projects. This helps establish a unified and predictable review process for such project-related applications within existing public services.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/aqmola-selinograd/press/news/details/1157013?lang=kk

The main goal of the agreement is to increase the effectiveness of copyright protection and develop unified mechanisms for cooperation between EAEU member states.In particular, it is planned to provide for the possibility of blocking internet resources based on court decisions of the EAEU member state where the rights of the copyright holder were infringed. Furthermore, website owners, information intermediaries, and other participants in the digital environment will be required to take measures to restrict access to such content.Furthermore, the EAEU countries plan to create national electronic registries of internet resources to which access has been restricted due to intellectual property rights violations. These registries will be used to track blocked resources and facilitate the exchange of information between authorized bodies of member states.The creation of such registries is expected to increase the transparency of measures taken, ensure a unified approach to blocking illegal content, and strengthen coordination of efforts to protect intellectual property rights in the digital space.Implementation of the Agreement will help reduce the spread of counterfeit content online, create clear and predictable conditions for digital market participants, and promote the development of fair competition within the EAEU. Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/mti/press/news/details/1156973?lang=kk

In Kazakhstan, the protection of citizens' rights in the digital space has been legally enshrined for the first time at the constitutional level. This provision, included in the Basic Law, is aimed at ensuring the security of citizens' personal data in the digital environment and protecting their rights. In addition, in order to improve the law enforcement system, the "Miranda Rule" was introduced during detention, prohibiting repeated criminal or administrative prosecution of a citizen for the same offense. In addition, the mechanisms for protecting women's rights have been strengthened by legally recognizing marriage as a union between a man and a woman. These changes will strengthen the principles of the rule of law and protect the freedoms and legitimate interests of citizens in accordance with new digital requirements.

The updated Constitution clearly states that the sole source of power is the people of Kazakhstan, and expands the opportunities for citizens to directly participate in governing the country. To this end, new institutions and mechanisms are being created to take into account the opinion of the people and strengthen public dialogue. One of them is the People's Council of Kazakhstan, which is being created as an effective dialogue platform that allows citizens to raise legislative initiatives on their behalf and aims to strengthen the relationship between society and the authorities. In addition, the role of the Kurultai institution is being defined, and the basis for the effective functioning of the unicameral Parliament consisting of 145 deputies is being laid. These changes are aimed at further strengthening democratic principles by increasing the transparency of the state administration system and increasing the participation of the people in the decision-making process.

The updated Constitution supplements the basic values that determine the direction of the state's development with new content and for the first time enshrines at the constitutional level the principles of justice, law and order common to all spheres of public life. These norms are aimed at strengthening the protection of citizens' rights and freedoms and increasing the transparency and accountability of public administration. In addition, environmental protection and careful treatment of nature are established as constitutional principles, and maintaining ecological safety and responsibility to future generations are defined as strategic tasks of the state. Strengthening unity and cooperation in society, maintaining interethnic harmony and stability are also included in the basic values, and are considered an important condition for ensuring civil harmony and public harmony. The draft constitutional reforms cover 84 percent of the text of the Basic Law and are aimed at modernizing the country's political and legal system, and its full content is available through official information portals.

The updated Constitution defines a new direction for the strategic development of Kazakhstan and establishes education, science and innovation as the main priorities of the state. It is clearly stated that the country's sustainable growth and competitiveness are directly related not only to natural resources, but also to the education, professional qualifications and intellectual potential of citizens. In this regard, it is intended to make human capital the main pillar of national development and create conditions for the full realization of the potential of every citizen. At the same time, mechanisms for protecting intellectual property rights will be strengthened, and the legal framework aimed at supporting inventions and scientific achievements will be strengthened. Digitization and innovative development are established as an integral part of state policy, serving to increase the efficiency of management, modernize the economy and ensure the openness of society. Thus, the new Constitution is aimed at creating a modern and fair Kazakhstan based on knowledge, technology and equal opportunities.
