The Government of Kazakhstan considers public-private partnership (PPP) as an important source of infrastructure funding and service delivery; thus, it continues to improve the legal mechanisms of PPP, develop its institutional setup, and structure pilot projects. PPP has been employed at the central and local government levels to deliver economic and social infrastructure including education, healthcare, transport, power, housing, and public utilities. However, many of these projects are small-scale and short-term. Kazakhstan has adopted the Law on Concessions defining the concept of PPP and a separate PPP Law. The government has established a two-tier institutional structure to support the deployment of PPPs-on the national and the regional level. The most prominent of them are the PPP Center, acting as the adviser to the government, Turar Healthcare and Financial Center, assisting with project development.
