  * further promoting transparency and accountability in the country's extractive industries;
  * carrying out analytical research and current monitoring of any issues relating to the management of Kazakhstan's National Fund;
  * protecting the rights of citizens to have uncensored information from free mass media sources including electronic media; and
  * protecting the freedoms and rights of citizens irrespective of their gender, race, nationality, social status, religion, physical condition or sexual orientation.
