Following a request from the Government of Kazakhstan, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development selected JC&A to assist the Government and the Agency for Information and Communication in establishing an independent, sector-specific regulatory authority for communications in Kazakhstan, based upon international best practice. JC&A provided full and substantive practical support and assistance to the Government and AIC in the following areas: institutional establishment, legislative drafting, staff training, organizational capacity building, institutional decision-making process development, implementation, and regulatory performance. The project was stopped early at the request of the consultants and with the agreement of the EBRD as a result of a lack of progress with the beneficiary.
