The Government of Ukraine, within the framework of the civil service reform, is planning to review the structure of 10 ministries and establish special directorates in them designed to pursue the policy of the Government. This was announced by Prime Minister of Ukraine Volodymyr Groysman while speaking with journalists in Ternopil.

"We are going to set up directorates in 10 ministries responsible for strategic planning and formation of each particular ministry’s policy. Each ministry has its profile. We are talking about absolutely clear competence, policy to be implemented and clear assessment of the implementation of objectives", the Head of Government noted.

He told that the staff of the Directorates will be formed of about a thousand new employees who are to be selected through competition.

"This means that a thousand people who will undergo a rigorous selection will join the executive authorities. I call them “agents of change”, added Volodymyr Groysman.
