Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

High levels of corruption hurt economic growth by making institutions work poorly and lowering what people think of their government. Corruption in Kazakhstan impacts the country's state budget, reduces investment potential, and decreases services for its citizens. The country works to solve these challenges by using online platforms in public administration, including eGov.kz, Open Budget, and Smart Astana. This study explores how digital technologies fight corruption in Kazakhstan and explains why they perform better or worse than other countries. The data comes from official sources including the Anti-corruption Agency of the Republic of Kazakhstan and the Ministry of Finance of Kazakhstan plus the OECD, UNDP, and Transparency International. This study evaluates Kazakhstan’s digital anti-corruption programs against the Singapore and Estonia models, plus examines their effect on macroeconomic data. Outcomes of the research show that digitalization helps people view budget details better, reduces money loss from corruption problems and makes investors trust the system more. The entire value of digital initiatives remains challenging to achieve since different parts of the country develop unevenly, and people struggle with basic online skills, while government rules slow progress. Polices should focus digital solutions on poor regions while improving regulations through new technology deployment to fight corruption and boost economic performance in the country.
