The purpose and objectives of the project:

The project is primarily aimed at addressing the shortage of school institutions and contributing to the improvement of the quality of secondary education in the city of Kosshy.

The assessment of the need has been provided by local authorities, as outlined in the letter requesting the construction of the school.

The stakeholders identified include students from Kosshy and the regional educational authorities.

Quality: Compliance with construction, safety, and seismic standards.

Quantity: The building spans 16,000 square meters and can accommodate at least 1,500 students per shift.

Implementation of the project:

The ‘construction and handover’ approach involves transferring the school to local executive bodies for proper functioning and operation.

1) Design; 2) Construction; 3) Expertise; 4) Equipment; 5) Commissioning.

The project cost is 7,900,000,000 tenge.

Ten employees are involved in the project, and no volunteers were engaged. The project took 1.5 years from concept to operation. The beneficiaries-pupils were engaged through surveys to capture their primary needs, alongside those of the residents. Educational authorities were involved in the project from the design phase to commissioning.

Results:

Objectives have been achieved at 100%.

Assessing impact is not currently feasible, as the school will commence operation on 1st September 2023

The start of construction, as well as the progress and significant adjustments to the project, were covered in various media outlets, on the website, and on the Foundation’s social media platforms.

On the Foundation’s social media channels, posts about the school reflect beneficiaries’ opinions about the project. Additionally, beneficiaries’ opinions will be featured on the Foundation’s social media pages from September 1st to September 15th, after the start of operation.

The project’s sustainability is ensured through transferring the school to the local executive bodies, which in turn guarantees the project’s sustainability for at least 50 years with proper building maintenance. An SROI assessment can be conducted as the school begins its operation.
