Kazakhstan: intermediate Report Internet Universality Indicators ROAM-X

On June 13, 2022, a regular meeting of the Multi-Stakeholder Advisory Board(MAB) was held to discuss the interim report on the assessment of national indicators of Internet universality (IUI) in the country for 2021.

The Internet Universality Indicators developed by UNESCO look at 5 key dimensions of the national Internet environment: Rights, Openness, Accessibility, Multistakeholder Participation and Cross Sectoral Issues (ROAM-X). Voluntary assessment of the study of the national Internet environment of the Republic of Kazakhstan began in February this year. An interim report is currently being reviewed, providing the main structure of the report, findings, analysis and recommendations.

The Kazakhstan IUI Report is the result of a research process led by the Internet Association of Kazakhstan. It should be noted that this is the first study of its kind in the country. A comprehensive assessment of the ROAM-X indicators has been carried out using a multi-stakeholder approach and will eventually form the basis for policy reforms in Kazakhstan through policy recommendations based on the results of the assessment. The project is managed by the Multilateral Advisory Board (MAB) with the participation of all stakeholders, representatives of government agencies, international organizations ICANN, RIPE NCC, IGF, human rights organizations, the public and business representatives of the country.

The publication of the project is carried out with the support of the IPDC project "Kazakhstan: Measuring the development of the Internet", submitted by the Internet Association of Kazakhstan to the International Program for the Development of Communications (IPDC).
