In addition, their focus should be primarily on servicing investors and administrative burdens, and tasks related to servicing ministries should be minimised. One option would be to involve both the regional akimat and the Regional Chambers of Entrepreneurs in the governance of ISCs, to ensure that the voice of the local private sector is taken into account in ISC governance (as is the case for the Hamburg’s Business Development Corporation, see Box 1.13). Co-ordination between the national agency Kaznext Invest and oblast- level ISCs on investment promotion and facilitation is essential, and should be enhanced. This could be done by giving Kaznext Invest a reserved seat on the executive board of all ISCs in Kazakhstan or the use of shared staff and/or facilities, for instance.
