UKRAINE
The Ukrainian National Civil Service Agency (NACS) has signed a deal for new software which it says will bring greater transparency to its Public Service.
The $US1.5 million ($A2.1 million) contract is for the supply and installation of a Human Resources (and Payroll) Management Information System (HRMIS) for Ukrainian public administration institutions.
An official said the HRMIS was a modern software system that combined and automated a number of HR functions and analytical tools, such as storing employee data, managing payrolls, recruitment, and the administration of benefits.
“Importantly, it also provides public access to open data related to the headcount and payroll of public administration institutions,” the official said.
The World Bank’s Country Director for Belarus, Moldova and Ukraine, Satu Kahkonen (pictured) said signing the contract was a critical milestone in Ukrainian Public Service modernisation.
“For the first time, all Civil Servants in Ukraine will be registered. Successful implementation of the system will help enhance the quality, effectiveness and transparency of the Ukrainian Civil Service,” Ms Kahkonen said.
The HRMIS has been procured as part of a European Union-funded program supporting Ukraine’s 2016-2020 Public Administration Reform Strategy adopted in 2016.
Head of the Delegation of the European Union to Ukraine, Hugues Mingarelli said he was convinced that introducing the software would take Ukrainian Public Service HR management to another level.
“This will not only improve and simplify processes but increase transparency and accountability. This process is part of wider EU support to Ukrainian public administration reform,” Mr Mingarelli said.
