Abstract

In the course of overcoming challenges by countries, especially during the period of covid-19 outbreak, the issue of public trust in the state, the policy pursued by the state, and its effective implementation has shown its special significance. All spheres of public administration, like any subject, need to be improved taking into account the new realities and requirements of society. To date, the improvement of the management of the confiscated property is especially relevant, because in the Republic of Kazakhstan, as part of the investigation of the January events of 2022, the arrests of high-ranking officials representing government structures and the security sector continue, with the confiscation of their property. Meanwhile, the idea of changing policy by studying the experiences of other countries is better than working from scratch to create measures to improve governance. At the same time, the practitioner needs to know what was already done, what difficulties can be encountered while applying any implementation, and whether it will be successful or unsuccessful if implemented in other places. It is also necessary to know how easily or hard to implement a particular intervention, which can be an obstacle or conducive to its successful implementation.

In this regard, the article highlights the key problems that arise during the implementation of the policy. Then it will draw the best practices in the management of confiscated property from other countries, which can be appropriate for application in Kazakhstan.
