       Under a contract with Zerde Holding for the provision of information,
analytical, and consulting services, the Ministry of Information and
Communications (the responsible executor prior to the creation of the MDDIAI)
made attempts in 2018 to develop a planned method for determining the
effectiveness of the implementation of key projects of the State Program, including:
identifying and calculating the benefits of digital technologies that have a direct or
indirect impact.

       Zerde Holding suggested that these activities be left out of the contract and
that a request be made to the Ministry of National Economy to create a methodology
for evaluating and tracking the effects of digitalization on the socioeconomic
indicators of the Republic of Kazakhstan, including to meet the objectives of the
State Program. According to data from the Ministry of National Economy, this
technique has not yet been created, making it impossible to build a process that
would allow for an accurate assessment of how digitalization has affected the
nation's socioeconomic progress [171].

       Information systems' budgetary expenses to maintain might occasionally be
higher than those to create them. Thus, for the period of 2013–2021, the Agency for
Strategic Planning and Reforms of the Republic of Kazakhstan reported that the
overall cost of constructing information systems was 1,556.6 million tenge, while
