Kazakhstan’s Rural Revival: How New Reforms Are Transforming Villages

Rural communities in Kazakhstan are witnessing significant enhancements thanks to new reforms and government initiatives. The 'Aul – El Besigi' program has brought paved roads, clean water, and enhanced infrastructure to villages, empowering elected local leaders to drive development further.

The Vagulinsky rural district has implemented the 'Aul – El Besigi' program, transforming two villages—El and Besigi—with fully asphalted streets. Alongside road upgrades, the scheme includes clean water supplies, street lighting, and surveillance cameras. These improvements aim to elevate living standards and stimulate local economies.

The reforms and infrastructure projects are designed to transform villages into key drivers of Kazakhstan’s economy. With increased funding, data access, and local decision-making, rural districts now possess stronger tools to build self-sufficient communities. These changes signal a shift from dependency to active participation in national progress.
