Relevance of the research topic. The tasks of public administration in the
Republic of Kazakhstan are focused on ensuring the sustainable development of the
country. Economic growth, social policy, human capital development, and
environmental management are among the strategic priorities of the Government in
the Republic of Kazakhstan. Strengthening international relations, providing
infrastructure, and regional cooperation also shape the country's overall course
towards sustainable and balanced functioning. To achieve these tasks, an effective
state apparatus is needed, built on effective technologies and management methods,
combating corruption, and increasing the openness and transparency of its activities.

system as a whole, today the theoretical and scientific and methodological issues of

developed, and opinions on the sources of risk in the public sector are ambiguous.
The object of the research is the activities of central state and local executive
bodies that form strategic planning policies, provide operational management, and
make public management decisions in conditions of risk and uncertainty.
The subject of the study is the process of public administration and
relationships that arise in order to prevent, reduce and optimize risks.
The purpose of the study is a identification of key risks and development of
practical recommendations for improving risk management in the public
administration system of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

the public administration system, identifying key approaches, principles and
methods applicable to government agencies;
– to study and summarize the international experience of risk management in
the public sector, with an emphasis on successful risk management models and tools
used in different countries;
