Supporting social infrastructure
KPO implements social and infrastructure projects in the West Qazaqstan Oblast (WQO) on the annual basis under the terms of Annex 5 to the Final Production Sharing Agreement.
The list of social projects to be implemented is annually approved between KPO and the WQO Akimat based on the priorities of the Oblast’s social development. The list is compiled by the WQO Akimat in accordance with state priorities and programmes and considering the needs of developing West Qazaqstan Oblast infrastructure, education and healthcare systems, sports and infrastructure in the region. Further on, the list is established by the Joint Operating Committee. From here KPO manages projects, including design and procurement processes, until the facilities are fully ready and then handed over to the balance sheet of the Republic of Qazaqstan. In case of failure to complete implementation of the projects by the end of the year as scheduled, the unspent funds are carried over the next calendar year. All social projects are to be implemented by local companies.
Within 2021, KPO has been implementing 15 social and infrastructure projects in the West Qazaqstan Oblast, including the projects approved in 2021 and those carried forward from previous periods. One of the major long-term projects is the construction of the International Airport in Uralsk, which has been completed in March 2022. Out of 15 social and infrastructure projects seven were completed, worth KZT 13.4 bln (equivalent to US$ 32.05 mln). Besides, implementation of the Aksai Hospital Emergency Capability Upgrade Project has continued throughout 2021 and at the moment of this Report’s publication. Its actual costs would be finalised upon full delivery of medical equipment.
The list of completed projects in 2021 is shown in table 47.
