UNDP Kazakhstan

In Kazakhstan’s Aral Sea region, women are transforming barren land into green oases. 🏝️ Through UNDP-supported micro-nurseries, local communities united into cooperatives are growing saxaul trees right in their backyards, helping restore degraded lands, combat desertification, and bring life back to one of the world’s most devastated ecosystems. With a mission to assist local communities in adapting to climate change, restoring the ecosystems of the Aral region, and afforestation of the dried bed of the Aral Sea and with the support of the Global Environment Facility and UNDP Small Grants Programme, Zauresh started the project "100 Micro-nurseries for Aral Oases."   "Each nursery is a small oasis capable of growing local resistant plants that play a key role in combating desertification and soil degradation," shares Zauresh Alimbetova.   It’s more than reforestation—it’s resilience, empowerment, and hope for future generations.

To achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), it's crucial to bring the 2030 Agenda to life not just at the national level but also locally. 🌏 This February and March, with support from UNDP, the Ministry of National Economy, and the Institute of Economic Research, a series of seminars on SDG localization unfolded across various regions of Kazakhstan. The seminars brought together representatives from local governments, civil society, and the business sector, establishing an open dialogue. Participants dove into discussions about the unique sustainable development challenges faced by their regions and highlighted priority areas. Strategies for embedding the SDGs into local planning and initiatives were at the forefront, with particular attention on Kazakhstan’s upcoming third Voluntary National Review (VNR), expected to be presented at the UN High-Level Political Forum in 2025. A special spotlight was placed on pilot regions, Abay and Ulytau, as part of a UNDP initiative to tackle local disparities. The project is dedicated to bridging socio-economic gaps, enhancing quality of life, and championing gender equality (SDG 5). Through this collaborative effort, UNDP is standing alongside Kazakhstan in the journey to implement the 2030 Agenda, championing sustainable solutions, forging partnerships, and involving all sectors of society in the quest for a better future aligned with the SDGs.
