REFORMATION AND TRANSFORMATION OF THE PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION SYSTEM IN THE CONDITIONS OF NEW REALITIES

Abstract

The processes of Europeanization in Ukraine require institutional changes and restructuring of the public administration system in order to improve the quality of public services, ensure the efficiency of the state apparatus and employees, and strengthen their ability to meet public needs and requirements. The article highlights the processes of reforming the public administration system in the conditions of new realities in terms of such components as strategic principles of reform, policy formation and coordination, civil service reform and human resource management, accountability, provision of public services, management of public finances and the state budget, public procurement, and external audit. The main advantages of public administration reform include e-governance and digitalization of administrative services; increased accountability and transparency of public finance management; development of the legislative framework as a basis for management; increased role of local authorities in territorial management; improvement of strategic principles in various areas of public management and medium-term policy planning. At the same time, there are a number of problems that need to be solved to continue the transformation processes: management in the civil service and remuneration of civil servants; reducing the dependence of the reform on external advisory services and external financing; average or low level of implementation of reform tasks and measures; corruption risks and bureaucratic procedures. The processes of reforming the public administration system require the introduction of quantitative indicators to measure the actual status of the implementation of measures to improve various areas of public life.
