United Nations Population Fund

UNFPA Kazakhstan

With more births and fewer deaths, Kazakhstan has achieved stable population growth after a period of decline. Maternal mortality has fallen dramatically and there is nearly universal skilled attendance at births. Gaps in access to contraceptives remain, however, and young people lack adequate sexual and reproductive health services. UNFPA began supporting Kazakhstan in 1992. Today, it provides expert advice and helps the Government and NGOs develop capacities to ensure that motherhood is safe, that family planning is available, and that all women and young people can access high-quality sexual and reproductive health care.

  • The source of data for most country level indicators is the UNFPA country annual reports for 2014-2017, unless stated otherwise
  • Results featured are cumulative - i.e., achieved between the 2014 and 2017 timeframe, and reflect the net situation, true as of the year selected
  • Majority of the results are captured from 127 UNFPA programme countries
  • Indicators that are marked ‘not achieved’ could imply any of the following conditions:
    • The country may have achieved the result without the support of UNFPA
    • The country has not targeted the given indicator during the 2014-2017 period
    • UNFPA is supporting this area of work, but the result has not yet been achieved
