THE ROLE OF THE INTERNATIONAL ASSISTANCE TO UKRAINE IN THE FIELD OF REFORMING SYSTEM OF ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES AT THE LOCAL LEVEL IN THE CONTEXT OF DECENTRALIZATION

Abstract

The article deals with the fundamental questions regarding the analysis of international technical assistance to Ukraine in the field of reforming the system of administrative services at the local level and determining its importance in the context of decentralization. It is substantiated that the procedure for providing international technical assistance determines the procedure for attracting, using and monitoring international technical assistance, including state registration, monitoring of projects and programs, accreditation of contractors, registration of a representative office of a donor institution in Ukraine. Within the framework of the mentioned topic, the author of the article analyzed the international targeted Programs that support Ukraine in the development of capable ASCs for providing administrative services in communities. It was determined that certain criteria should be taken into account when writing projects for the provision of international ones: comprehensibility and logicality, relevance, efficiency, feasibility, validity, economy, realistic, feasibility. The problematic aspects of the creation of the ASCs are analyzed and the problem is identified: despite the large number of ASCs already created in the AHs, their number is insufficient to provide quality services to the population of Ukraine. It is determined that to create a “proper” ASC requires a complex combination of many components: institutional, physical, gender, professional staff, informed population, infrastructure, the introduction of new forms of ASCs work (mobile, territorial subdivisions, remoted work places). Establishment of proper ASCs in Ukraine with the support of international technical assistance programs should be actively supported by AHs.
