Kazakhstan could draw inspiration from the United Kingdom’s Capabilities Plan for the Civil Service, which mostly concerns how to train individuals and develop their competences (Civil Service, 2013). The Academy of Public Administration, which provides professional training for public employees from national and regional governments, has a critical role to play in training and could lead such a scheme, given its vast experience in training. If new legislation is passed, officials from the national government travel to the regions to explain the new legislation, and in some cases, organise practical workshops to train local public employees.
