Public evaluation
National legislation of Ukraine is consistent with the civil service standards enshrined in Article 7.1 of the UNCAC. Competitions for vacant civil service positions are set forth to be transparent.

The absence of competitions during the COVID-19 pandemic and the full-scale invasion of Russia had a negative impact on the civil service. Separate competitions for higher positions were held in violation of the law. There are still shortcomings with the training of civil servants, as it is often not effective.

In short

State of implementation

Practices

positive

negative

Competitions for civil servants are open and public.
There is an independent body responsible for competitions for civil service positions of higher categories.
International experts and civil society are involved in some competition commissions.
Audio and video recording and open access to videos of competitions.
During the COVID-19 pandemic and full-scale invasion of Ukraine by Russia, no competitions were held.
There is a lack of an accessible non-judicial system for appealing competition results. Thus, the rights of civil servants may be infringed.
Many competitions for important government positions are not held because they are appointed.
The quality of the system of training and advanced training of civil servants is insufficient.
The possibility to appoint the “right” people with personal and political connections as opposed to the most qualified candidate to positions prevailes and is taken advantage of even within open competitions.
State evaluation will be published soon.
