INTERNATIONAL EXPERIENCE OF REFORMING PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION AND ITS ADAPTATION IN UKRAINE

Abstract

An evaluation of international public administration systems was carried out on the example of the member states of the European Union. Systematized the most common reform trends that are key components of the "European" approach to public administration reform: open government initiatives and reforms to strengthen external transparency: legislation on freedom of information, open data, procurement reforms, creation of anti-corruption bodies; civil service reform with an emphasis on retrenchment measures to reduce the size and costs of civil servants, improve performance appraisals and introduce codes of conduct; measures of electronic governance; reforms to strengthen the coordination capacity of the government and merger of bodies (mainly created during the reform period); performance management and productivity reforms; reducing the administrative burden on enterprises and citizens. The directions for adapting positive vectors of public administration reform to Ukrainian realities are systematized. Strategic directions for increasing the efficiency of the public management system are proposed: implementation of the open data strategy; focusing on sub-themes rather than comprehensive and often overly general activities; measurements that can be used for learning purposes less than for evaluation; using the survey method. Keywords: strategy, public administration, reform, experience, efficiency.
