The NPMS, developed through three stages, offers valuable lessons for international audiences seeking efficient reforms. The study, commissioned by the Astana Civil Service Hub, provides practical recommendations for NPMS improvement, highlighting its role in strategic vision, organizational change, and effective policy implementation.
Behavioural Public Policy: New Opportunities and Challenges for Kazakhstan and the Eurasia Region
Brief description
This study on Behavioural Public Policy is based on insights from behavioural economics and psychology intending to transform people’s behaviour into desirable behaviour by using ‘nudges’ and correcting cognitive bias. While many countries around the world have actively embraced behavioural insights into public policies, this topic remains a relatively new field for the governments in the post-Soviet Eurasia region, including Kazakhstan. The study attempts to fill the gap and facilitate the understanding of behavioural public policy in the region.
