Activity of subjects of the public administration for the provision of public services: problem questions and ways of their solution

Abstract

The article describes the experience of public administration actors in providing public services. The types of subjects of the central level providing public services are described in detail. The activities of local self-government bodies regarding the provision of public services are revealed. The problems of providing public services by the relevant actors and ways of their solution are highlighted.It is established that for today there are more than 30 executive bodies that provide public services, which, in turn, leads to difficulties for the relevant entities to apply for a certain public service. The expediency of creating a nationwide single center for the provision of public services through the optimization and reorganization of the centers for the provision of administrative services through expanding the range of all types of services, the transfer of functions of the executive authorities to the provision of public services, etc. is proposed.It is grounded that the reform of public authorities in relation to the provision of public services is as follows: deregulation and administrative simplification, that is, the general reduction of the number of public services; decentralization of basic public services, ie, their delegation to local governments; streamline relations with the payment of public services and overcome corruption.The ways of reforming local self-government bodies in the field of providing public services are highlighted: the approach of providing public services to residents of territorial communities and their associations; a clear division of powers between local government bodies at different levels, local authorities, territorial bodies of central executive authorities regarding the provision of public services; determination of full and exclusive self-responsibility and responsibility of local self-government bodies for the provision of public services according to territoriality; transfer of functions from local bodies of executive power and territorial bodies of central executive authorities to local self-government bodies regarding the provision of public services; creation of proper material, financial and organizational conditions for ensuring the authority of local self-government bodies to provide public services, etc.
