Kazakhstan Center for Public-Private Partnership

What Kazakhstan Center for Public-Private Partnership does

The Kazakhstan Center for Public-Private Partnership (JSC KazPPP Center) is a state-owned joint-stock company established by Government Resolution No. 693 on July 17, 2008, with the Ministry of National Economy of the Republic of Kazakhstan as its sole shareholder. Headquartered at Temirkazyk street 65, Astana, the Center operates as the official specialized PPP competence body for the country, delivering project structuring, tender documentation, financial modeling, transaction support, expert evaluation, and training across the PPP lifecycle. Its core offerings include the national PPP Project Database, the PPP Academy (CP3P certification preparation), international cooperation services with ADB, World Bank Group, EBRD, MIGA, IFC, and bilateral agencies, and a quarterly PPP Academy Journal published in three languages.

The business model is government-to-government advisory rather than commercial sales: pricing for PPP consulting is negotiated project-by-project with ministries and regional akimats on multi-year contract bases. As of April 2026, the national PPP Project Database tracks 1,106 agreements and concessions with a combined cost of KZT 2,774.7 billion (KZT 1,487.5 billion in total investment volume), spanning education (650 projects, 59%), healthcare (194 projects, 18%), energy/utilities (131 projects, 12%), and transport (25 projects, 2%). The Center does not disclose commercial revenue; operations are funded as a state instrumentality.

The Center employs 51-100 staff across research, budget investment evaluation, project implementation assessment, training, expertise, and digital support departments. In February 2026 it received formal accreditation from the Ministry of National Economy to provide expert PPP services, and in 2025-2026 it has deepened engagement with MIGA, PwC, BlackRock GIP / Temasek / Lunate, ADB, IFC, SUEZ, EU, and CLDP to position Kazakhstan's framework as the most advanced PPP system in Central Asia and a reference model for over 100 countries developing Digital Public Infrastructure.
