Volodymyr Groysman: The focus of the civil service reform is to bring in government new people having capability to implement change and serve the country

The main focus of civil service reform, launched in 2014 and widely implemented in May of 2016, is to bring new people to executive authorities, new people capable of embodying the change and truly devoted to serving the country. This was stated by Prime Minister of Ukraine Volodymyr Groysman during an international conference "Public Administration in Ukraine: Assessing the State of Affairs, Achievements and Challenges".

The Head of Government stressed that until recently the civil service used to be one of the most conservative and closed systems. Instead, fundamental changes would not have been possible without proper quality of administration.
