Kazakhstan has been striving to strike the right balance between cautious regulatory inspection and promoting technology-driven innovation in the country and has embarked on adapting legislation on new technologies. The project aims at providing technical assistance to Kazakhstan to foster the exchange of expertise on implementation of regulatory sandboxes and develop policy recommendations based on global good practices, procedures and methods.
Objective:
The main objective of this project is to improve institutional capacity of public servants of Kazakhstan to design regulatory frameworks for frontier technologies and experimental innovation that can maximizing the benefits and minimizing the risks of technological advancement for implementation for the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. As complementation to the DA project 2124B on Regulatory Sandboxes, this project can expand the scope of project implementation and maximize the outputs.
