Ten years ago, the Center for Support of Civil Service Institutional Development was renamed into the Center for Adaptation of the Civil Service to the Standards of the European Union and extended his authorities by the Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine “Issue on the Center for Support of Civil Service Institutional Development” on 04 June, 2008. The aim of these changes was to strengthen institutional reforms in the civil sector, first of all the administrative reform of the civil service and the human resource management reform in the civil sector through adaptation of the civil service institute in Ukraine to the standards of the European Union.

The Center will continue to work on deepening cooperation between Ukraine and the EU in the area of public administration and civil service as well as improving the mechanisms for organizing the effective use of the EU institutional development instruments Twinning, TAIEX, SIGMA programme and improving the work on informing the public on European and Euro-Atlantic integration issues.

The 10th anniversary gives hope that our efforts and responsible attitude to work will give an opportunity to continue to earn respect and good attitude from partners and colleagues.
