UN in Kazakhstan

• About Kazakhstan

UN System (specialized agencies, programmes and funds) started its work in Kazakhstan shortly after the country's accession to the United Nations (March 1992). Working within one United Nations System, every agency has its own expertise, area of focus and mandate. All funds and programmes are part of a single United Nations system. The heads of these agencies form the UN Country Team, which under the leadership of the Resident Coordinator ensures the coordination and coherence of the UN activities in Kazakhstan.

Today, the UN Country Team consists of the following organizations that are resident in Kazakhstan:

• International Labour Organisation (ILO)

• Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS)

• Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA)

• United Nations Development Programme (UNDP)

• United Nations Department For Public Information (UNDPI)

• UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)

• United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA)

• United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR)

• United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF)

• United Nations Development Fund for Women (UNIFEM)

• United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC)
