Abstract
In Kazakhstan, a high level of corruption is observed, which significantly harms social and economic processes. Combating corruption requires a comprehensive approach, including anticorruption education, the development of public oversight, enhancing the digitalization of government processes, and creating effective mechanisms for protecting whistleblowers. Despite the measures taken, the effectiveness of anti-corruption policies remains a topic of discussion, as the existing approaches often prove insufficient. The goal is to explore modern strategies for forming an anti-corruption culture in Kazakhstan, assess the challenges and prospects of anti-corruption education, public oversight, and the digitalization of government processes. Furthermore, it aims to propose ways to improve anticorruption policies through the development of educational programs, strengthening the role of NGOs and media, and introducing whistleblower protection mechanisms. A comprehensive analysis was conducted on the experience of anti-corruption education and public oversight in Kazakhstan and abroad, as well as sociological data. Methods such as content analysis, comparative analysis of legislation, and analysis of statistics on corruption violations were applied. The process of forming an anti-corruption culture in Kazakhstan can be divided into several key areas: anti-corruption education, the development of public oversight, enhancing the role of media, and effective protection of whistleblowers. The research highlights the importance of a comprehensive approach that combines legal, educational, and social measures. An important conclusion is the need to change the approach to anti-corruption education, improve mechanisms for protecting rights defenders and whistleblowers, and further strengthen the digitalization of government processes, which will increase public trust in state institutions.
