10 лет Госкорпорации «Правительство для граждан»: как изменилась система госуслуг в Казахстане7 апреля Госкорпорации «Правительство для граждан» исполняется 10 лет. За это время она стала ключевым звеном между государством и гражданами - сегодня через её сервисы ежегодно проходят десятки миллионов обращений, а большинство госуслуг доступны казахстанцам по принуиципу «одного окна».За эти годы удалось выстроить единую инфраструктуру предоставления государственных услуг по всей стране, сделав их более удобными и доступными для граждан. В работу внедрены терминалы самообслуживания, видеоЦОН, биометрическая идентификация, а ключевые процессы переведены в цифровой формат.Масштаб изменений отражают цифры: ежегодно через центры обслуживания населения оказывается в среднем более 23 млн услуг, ещё миллионы обращений обрабатываются через цифровые каналы, включая мобильные приложения и онлайн-сервисы.Цифровизация стала ключевым фактором этих изменений. Сегодня большинство государственных услуг доступно онлайн, а взаимодействие с ними всё чаще происходит через цифровые каналы. Приложение «ЦОН» фактически стало «ЦОНом в кармане»: только за 2025 год его установили более 2 миллионов пользователей. Через него граждане могут записаться на приём, получить электронный талон, отслеживать статус заявок и пользоваться сервисом по полученю госуслуг без посещения фронт-офисов.Единый контакт-центр 1414, который в этом году отмечает 15-летие, остаётся важным каналом поддержки и работает 24/7. С 2021 года он входит в состав Госкорпорации и в среднем обрабатывает от 20 до 25 миллионов обращений в год. Центр активно внедряет цифровые решения: уже сегодня каждый десятый звонок обрабатывается с участием ИИ-ассистента, который помогает уточнить запрос и направить пользователя к нужной услуге. Наряду с развитием цифровых сервисов Госкорпорация активно развивает и цифровую грамотность населения, организуя обучение по всей стране. Занятия проходят во всех регионах Казахстана в центрах обслуживания населения в формате практических занятий. Только за март по всей стране около 700 казахстанцев повысили уровень цифровой грамотности.«Миссия Госкорпорации - быть ключевым драйвером трансформации системы государственных услуг. За эти годы нам удалось выстроить сервис, ориентированный на реальные потребности граждан: сделать услуги доступными, качественными и удобными на каждом этапе жизни. Мы работаем по принципу “слышащего государства”, где голос каждого человека - ориентир для развития. Наша задача - не просто предоставлять услуги, а быть надёжным партнёром для граждан, формируя открытую и инклюзивную цифровую среду без барьеров», - отметил Председатель Правления Госкорпорации «Правительство для граждан» Арман Кенжегалиев.Опыт Госкорпорации «Правительство для граждан» вызывает интерес и за пределами Казахстана. В разные годы её посетили делегации из Монголии, Японии, Узбекистана и других стран, где знакомились с практикой оказания госуслуг и цифровыми решениями.За этим интересом - сформированная за 10 лет система, которая прошла путь от разрозненных услуг к единой инфраструктуре, выстроенной вокруг удобства граждан. Сегодня Госкорпорация объединяет услуги ЦОНов, специализированных ЦОНов, земельного кадастра, социального и пенсионного обеспечения, а также направления РАГС и недвижимости.В этой работе задействованы почти 16 тысяч специалистов, ежедневно обеспечивающих доступность и качество услуг. В итоге этот путь - не только про цифры и процессы, но и про доверие, ответственность и системную работу, благодаря которой взаимодействие гражданина с государством стало проще, понятнее и комфортнее.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/vko-ridder/press/news/details/1212347?lang=kk

On the eve of the heating season's end, Akim of the Kostanay Region, Kumar Aksakalov, inspected the condition of the heating networks in an apartment building in the city of Kostanay.«The Head of State has repeatedly instructed to ensure the uninterrupted progress of the heating season. In our region, the heating season is proceeding normally. No major accidents have been recorded. Even when they occurred, they did not affect the quality of heat supply. This is undoubtedly the result of repair work carried out in advance. Considering that last heating season there were emergency situations related to boiler equipment and ruptures in main networks, this indicates that we have drawn the right conclusions», – noted the head of the region.The Head of State particularly emphasizes the importance of modernizing the energy and utilities sectors. The task is set to reduce the wear and tear of heating networks to 42% by the end of 2029.Significant financial resources are allocated annually for the modernization of heat supply facilities and engineering infrastructure. As a result:the number of heating network damages has decreased by 84%: from 830 cases in the 2022–2023 heating season to 134 in the current season;the wear and tear level has been reduced from 50% in 2022 to 43% in 2025.The work will continue within the framework of the National Project for the Modernization of the Energy and Utilities Sectors. Even at the stage of completing the current season, it is important to plan the necessary steps in advance for a successful start of the next heating period.«The next issue I would like to address is the tariff. People should pay for the heat, water, and electricity they actually consume. This is only possible with the installation of 'smart' metering devices. While the level of stationary meter equipment is high, we are only at the initial stage regarding automated systems. Today, the installation of such devices in the region is progressing dynamically: if in 2023 they were installed in 433 houses, then in 2025 – already in 1,132 houses, an increase of almost three times. Meters allow residents to save on heating services. However, this potential is not fully utilized. For example, with the onset of warm spring days, many open windows and essentially 'heat the street,' while continuing to pay in full. This is wrong», – emphasized Kumar Aksakalov.The population should have both individual apartment meters and building-wide meters. Furthermore, they should be automated so that readings are transmitted remotely, without human involvement. This eliminates data distortion, discrepancies with actual consumption, and, consequently, overcharging for services. Such situations cause distrust and dissatisfaction among the population, as well as reluctance to pay for heating services.«Our task is to install as many heat metering units as possible. Enterprises and local manufacturers already operating in the region should participate in this work. All these measures are aimed at saving. In the current heating period, savings amounted to more than 890 thousand tenge from one apartment building. These are funds that remain in the pockets of our citizens», – noted the Akim of the region.Furthermore, heat-generating enterprises will also incur lower costs. With an increase in the number of meters, fuel consumption and heat losses decrease. This will become possible with 100% heat metering.The work on installing metering devices will continue at the same pace, which will allow for 100% coverage in the next 5 years.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kostanay/press/news/details/1195181?lang=kk

One of the mechanisms for getting rid of the debt burden is the out-of-court bankruptcy procedure, the duration of which is 6 (six) months (Law "On the Restoration of Solvency and Bankruptcy of Citizens of the Republic of Kazakhstan").     On January 16, 2026, amendments were signed (effective from March 19, 2026), providing for a reduction in this period for certain categories of citizens.     So, since March 19, 2026, in relation to a citizen whose total debt does not exceed 1,600 MCI (6 million 920 thousand tenge), and whose term of default exceeds 5 (five) years, the out-of-court bankruptcy procedure is carried out for 1 (one) month.    These changes are another step aimed at optimizing the procedure for out-of-court bankruptcy and demonstrate the openness and flexibility of the state apparatus in response to public requests.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kgd-akmola/press/news/details/1195147?lang=kk
