The Republic of Kazakhstan is the largest country in Central Asia. It occupies a territory of 2,724.9 thousand sq. km with a population of 16,036 thousand inhabitants (01.01.2011). It shares common border with the Russian Federation (7,591 km), the Republic of Uzbekistan (2,354 km), Turkmenistan (426 km), the Kyrgyz Republic (1,241 km), the People’s Republic of China (1,782 km) and across the Caspian Sea (600 km).
The geographical position of the Republic Kazakhstan (in the centre of the Euro-Asian continent), the growth of its economy and the currently led policy of integration into the world economic system, create preconditions and real possibilities for an active participation of Kazakhstan in the resolution of transport and communication issues between the countries of Europe and Asia.
Kazakhstan has also been an active member of TRACECA since the Brussels Conference in May 1993 which gave birth to the TRACECA programme.
The national transport policy of the Republic of Kazakhstan is defined in the following documents:
· Government Program on the forced industrially-innovative development of Republic Kazakhstan for 2010-2014
· Strategic Plan for development of Republic Kazakhstan till 2020
· Strategic Plan of the Ministry of transport and communications of Republic Kazakhstan on 2011 – 2015
· Strategic Plan of the Ministry of economic development and trade of Republic Kazakhstan on 2011 - 2015
The main objective of the Government Programme on the forced industrially-innovative development of Republic Kazakhstan for 2010-2014 is the development of the transport and communication complex in the optic to fully satisfy the needs of a growing economy and the population in terms of transport services.
To respond to the existing challenges for MOS and ILC promotion, two TRACECA projects made a pre-screening for potential pilot projects. The pre-screening was based on the multi criteria analysis of proposed pilot, which helped to narrow down the pilot projects list. Feasibility studies were elaborated for selected pilot projects for Kazakhstan.
The LOGMOS team carried out a comprehensive country analysis covering the national transport policy, strategic challenges, legal environment and investments in the transport and logistics sector. Findings of this study were reflected in a Country Profile based on the following structure:
Legal Environment in the field of Transport
National Policy and Legislation in Trade and Transit
Investments in Transport and Logistics Sector
Pilot Projects Selected for MoS I and ILC Projects
