The objectives of the Legal Reform Project in Kazakhstan are to strengthen the legal and judicial systems, and those of selected institutions, in support of the ongoing economic reform program. The project is consistent with the overall reform policies in the country, as well as with the Country Assistance Strategy (CAS) framework, which promotes private sector development through the improvement of the legal system as necessary to attain competitive markets. The project components are: 1) to assist in the legal drafting field, providing quality and consistency to laws and regulations and proper enforcement provisions. Technical assistance will provide a functional review of the Ministry of Justice (MOJ), with training to improve drafting skills; 2) to support the judicial training institute, through the improvement of court administration and case management; 3) to enhance legal information and public awareness, allowing accessibility to reliable legal information, through the support of electronic systems, towards the development of the rule of law and legal institutions; and, 4) to manage and supervise the implementation of the project.
