Abstract

In the budgeting system of the Republic of Kazakhstan, which is focused on achieving results, a special place is occupied by state programs.

A state program is a comprehensive document that defines the main direc­tions of state policy in the field of its implementation, which is directly linked to the development strategy of the state as a whole and the concept developing a particular industry.

In the Republic of Kazakhstan, a state program is a strategic planning doc­ument containing a set of planned activities and interlinked by tasks, deadlines, implementers, resources, and public policy instruments that ensure—within the framework of the implementation of key state functions—the achievement of priorities and goals of state policy in the field of socioeconomic development and national security. In other words, a state program is an instrument of state regulation of the economy, ensuring the achievement of promising goals and objectives through the use of available resources.

State programs are documents of an inter-sphere, inter-sectoral, and inter­departmental nature that define goals, objectives, and expected results in the priorities and strategic directions of the country’s development and are devel­oped for a period of at least 5 years in order to implement the higher docu­ments of the State Planning System.
