Ukraine's government approves public administration reform strategy for 2016-2020

Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister for European and Euro-Atlantic Integration Ivanna Klympush-Tsintsadze said that the strategy envisages short- and long-term tasks. The latter, for example, include the government authority system reform. She said that the concept determines the field for reforming public administration and the key principles of the reform. Klympush-Tsintsadze said that the concept has been approved by the European Union (EU). The EU is ready to provide assistance to Ukraine in its implementation. The document touches only the issues of operation of central executive power branch and local public administrations in part of civil service. It does not touch local self-government agencies. She said that the strategy foresees the necessity of its regular revision, taking into account the results of its implementation. The Cabinet of Ministers and Klympush-Tsintsadze are responsible for the implementation of the concept.
