Eurasian Digital Foundation (EDF) also contributes to the implementation of SDG Goals 16 and 17 through its projects.
Having received UN accreditation several years ago, EDF annually hosts the National Forum on Internet Governance, Qazaqstan IGF, providing a platform for discussions among key stakeholders, including the government, businesses, IT sector, civil society, and academia.
Each Qazaqstan IGF forum brings together experts who offer numerous recommendations that contribute to the country’s sustainable development.
