Mission and main objective: Sustainable development of agriculture and rural territories through the formation of an accessible and multi-service digital ecosystem.

E- SUBSIDIES as part of ICT and digital solutions in e-agriculture used by society as innovative ways to boost the agricultural sector, foster sustainable agriculture and drive socio-economic development, while also contribute to most pressing challenges – such as climate change, drought and desertification with influence to the SDGs.

E-SUBSIDIES - electronic submission of applications for subsidies, their processing and payment

The project is unique, as it helped to reduce user costs for documenting processes, increase comfort in obtaining government support and transparency of all internal processes.

This became possible due to the active use of geographic information services and crowdsourcing opportunities.

For the period from 2017 to 2022, about 1 million applications for subsidies were submitted, of which 654 thousand applications were paid for a total amount of more than 700 billion tenge (1.6 billion USD), while more than 61 thousand agribusiness entities are recipients of subsidies.

• Kazakhstan

• Remote and rural communities
• • farmers • financial institutions • government institutions

Services can be scaled up by being applied of other countries’ subjects or replication of experience implementation with the advisory support by the team members and partners.

According to our estimates, the introduction of similar services may
reduce farmers' financing costs by 30%,
increasing agribusiness funding at least 2 times
due to data availability and risk assessment.

The high degree of sustainability of the project is determined by the following factors:
1.Proactive GOVERNMENT POLICY on digitalization of industries

2. Sustainable PARTNERSHIPS with internationally recognized partners (Transtelecom, Airbus, Vander Sat, DTN, Swiss re, Syngenta, etc.).

3. INTEGRATION with 20+ systems and databases (Ministries of Justice, Finance, Agriculture, Internal Affairs, National Bank, second-tier banks, etc.).

4. EFFECTIVE WORKED TEAM of architects, analysts and developers with experience in creating and developing more than 4 digital platforms for the ministries of finance and agriculture, the National Bank of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

The project as a whole is unique in its kind: the project offers society unprecedented principles, methods and technologies for breaking through and sustainable development of agriculture at levels that meet modern requirements. The constant consistent development of the project attracts many professionals and technocrats froАm all spheres of the development of society: (science, politics, economics, etc.) and key sectors: industry, IT industry, education, international trade, etc. Effective interaction of interested professional partners gives a multiplier effect on the development of society as a whole: on the one hand, encourages and calling lagging industries and spheres for development, and, on the other hand, presents “challenges” for partners to move forward and transform. However, we believe that in order to achieve the highest goals of the development of society, it is important to mobilize all available resources, for which key representatives of the government (national and local), civil society and other key figures (actors) should interact in the community.
