The competition for the provision of grants to NGOs for the implementation of the "Zhas Project" project has started

By order of the Ministry of Information and Social Development of the Republic of Kazakhstan, the Center for Support of Civil Initiatives began accepting applications from Kazakhstani NGOs for the implementation of the «Zhas Project». 

This project is being implemented in pilot mode in Almaty, Karaganda, Mangystau, Turkestan regions within the framework of the Government's Action Program for 2022. 

"Zhas Project" is aimed at involving socially vulnerable youth, especially those living in rural areas, at socio-economic life involvement in their local areas, at productive employment, as well as supporting business ideas of young people. 

As the deputy chairman of the Board of the Center for Support of Civil Initiatives Zhasulan Bisembiyev noted, "the project is divided into 4 lots by the number of regions. The first stage of the project is to select an NGO that will directly implement the project in a particular region. The independent competition Commission, when considering applications from NGOs, will take into account the experience of implementing social projects in Almaty, Karaganda, Mangystau, Turkestan regions. 

At the second stage, the NGOs that received the grant will create regional commissions, which will include representatives of the public, industry experts, and entrepreneurs. In each of these regions, 63 small grants of 1 million tenge will be awarded to finance a specific project. Each project will be examined and, after the approval of the regional commission, each project will be monitored for the effectiveness of its implementation." 

An important stage of the project implementation will be summing up the results and holding a forum of participants of the project "Zhas Project". 

Applications will be accepted until 18:30, June 17, 2022.
