Reporting positive contribution of volunteering to the SDGs
Paragraph 1, page 134
Kazakhstan pays special attention to youth policy. Since 2015, the Government has expanded the annual funding for the development of volunteer initiatives; the greater integration of the volunteer movement into SDG implementation is being discussed. 2019 was declared the Year of Youth in Kazakhstan. Youth volunteer movements are developing and Kazakhstani youth are actively involved in projects that help vulnerable populations (older people, single mothers, large families and others) and people facing hardship, and in environmental and educational projects. (P 134) In Kazakhstan, the inherent desire of the people to help others through local community assistance is known as ‘‘Asar’’. Asar has served as an indicator of the unity of Kazakh society and of people's concern for others. Many citizens are now involved in volunteering work for the benefit of society. There are numerous active volunteer organizations in the country, such as the National Volunteer Network (local experts on volunteering and social projects in the regions of the country), the Red Crescent of Kazakhstan (humanitarian projects in the regions), Enactus (international programme on student social entrepreneurship), Rina (the search for missing people throughout the country), the 28 Loops Club (assisting premature babies across Kazakhstan and the CIS), the Good People Club (assisting people facing hardship), the League of Volunteers (volunteers in the city of Almaty), Best for Kids (assisting children) and other volunteer movements on a variety of current social and environmental topics.
