Public discussions were held on the issues of improving the state social order

Ministry of Information and Social Development of the Republic of Kazakhstan began work on improving the normative legal acts regulating the mechanisms of state social order.

On February 9 and 10, meetings were held on making amendments and additions to the Standard and Rules for the formation, monitoring of implementation and evaluation of the results of the state social order with the participation of experts in the field of civil society, NGOs and representatives of state bodies.
The work on improving the State Social Order Standard was carried out in cooperation with the Zubr Consulting Center.
An analysis of the practice of implementing the state social order for the period of the Standard's validity showed the need to change the requirements for the types of services, which will ensure a common understanding in the course of the practical application of the Standard at all stages of implementing the state social order.
The experts noted the need to clarify the requirements for quality and conditions for the provision of services in the technical specification.
Also, the issue of determining the cost of projects within the framework of the state social order was raised and it was proposed to develop a unified methodology that would allow for the qualitative formation of the cost of projects.
The members of the working group raised the issue of public discussion in the formation of the topics of the state social order and proposed to transfer this option to the decision of the Councils for interaction and cooperation with NGOs.
During the discussion, a proposal was made to introduce external monitoring of the implementation of social projects with the participation of representatives of civil society.
Based on the results of the meeting, all comments and suggestions were taken for consideration and will be discussed again at the next meeting.
