The purpose of the program is to improve the quality of life in the regions, expand people's access to the high-quality urban environment, education, medicine and cultural objects.

The first phase (2016-2017) of the program will cover Akmola, Pavlodar and Mangystau regions, in the years ahead another six areas will be covered. Every year KZT 3 billion will be allocated for the project.
