In the next four years,
Kazakhstan is set to construct new social facilities with an estimated total
cost exceeding 260 billion tenge. These projects will be implemented through a
public-private partnership, as announced by the Kazakh government’s press
service. Kazakh Prime Minister Alikhan Smailov signed the corresponding decree
approving the Comprehensive Plan for 2024-2028. The document was adopted as
part of the implementation of President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev’s instructions.
The Head of State has emphasized the importance of attracting private
investments for the development of social infrastructure, with their share
being no less than 70 percent, and the remaining 30 percent funded by the
state. The overall plan entails the construction of 43 facilities across
various sectors, including higher education, healthcare, social protection of
the population, sports, and education. These include student dormitories, polyclinics,
rehabilitation and educational and health centers, sports facilities, as well
as schoolchildren’s palaces and art schools.
“Additionally, the Comprehensive
Plan for PPP Development envisages the opening of three new polyclinics and
three rehabilitation centers, along with the establishment of eight new gyms,
five educational and health centers, five schoolchildren’s palaces, and 10 art
schools,” said Dinara Alimova, Press Secretary to the Kazakh Prime Minister.
It is expected that once the facilities
are constructed, they will be managed by private partners. However, a condition
is that they undertake the technical maintenance for a duration of 10 years.
Importantly, the facilities will be transferred to state ownership
post-commissioning.
