Abstract
The strategic planning system determines in which direction the state and all its structures should go. The strategic plan, planned for several years, is the basis for making all management decisions, as it characterizes the future model of the state, the global picture of its development prospects in a competitive market. Therefore, the issue of implementing strategic projects and programs is relevant not only in our domestic experience, but also abroad. This article examines the change in the strategic planning system of the Republic of Kazakhstan. During its existence, state programs have shown the need to revise and adopt other documents on strategic planning. Therefore, in 2021, national projects were adopted by the decision of the head of state. National projects are a tool for the implementation of national development goals, which is of priority importance at a certain stage of the development of the state and provides for a clearly defined end result for its solution, as well as requiring significant resources. The article presents the structure of national projects, the stages of development and their features and comparison with state programs. However, during the preliminary control and analysis of national projects, a number of shortcomings were identified.
