The Centre of Government plays a crucial role in OECD countries, aimed at co-ordinating various state functions, managing public organisations, delivering results for citizens and distributing public resources effectively. In order to meet these goals, a Centre of Government must thus provide effective and efficient leadership and develop an external, citizen-oriented outlook. In this context, this chapter assesses the central functions in the government of Kazakhstan, including direction-setting and budget planning functions; setting the public sector management agenda; monitoring and oversight; strategic research; capacity building and strategic services; providing support to the political level; adjudication; budget planning and economic analysis. It offers concrete recommendations for streamlining the allocation of central functions, solidifying a culture of improvement and enhancing the efficiency of the Government as a whole.
