EXECUTIVE BODIES

This results in the less efficient functioning and excessive structures leading to the worsened capacity of the Government on public policy making and implementation of government programs.

Based upon the sustainable practice of the developed countries and Ukrainian experience, functional review as an important instrument of administrative reform became a basis for monitoring the structure of executive power bodies in Ukraine and its compliance with powers assgined to them according to legislation as well as with governmental priorities.
