The law fulfills Ukraine's commitments under the Ukraine Facility, an EU financial assistance program launched in 2024, and unlocks 137 million euros ($153 million) in budget funding, Prime Minister Serhii Koretskyi said.
The resumption of the competition is provided for by the Ukraine Facility Plan, the Roadmap on State Government Reform and the Strategy for Reforming State Governance for 2026-2030.
Ukraine restores civil service recruitment competitions, securing EUR 137 mln under Ukraine Facility
The Verkhovna Rada adopted bill No. 13478-1 on restoring competitive recruitment to the civil service in its second reading on Monday, fulfilling an indicator under the Ukraine Facility that provides for EUR 137 million in funding for Ukraine's state budget, Minister for Communities, Territories and Internally Displaced Persons Vitaliy Bezgin told Interfax-Ukraine.
The Verkhovna Rada has passed a law on the resumption of public service competitions, and the new rules provide for advantages for veterans, integrity checks and restrictions on appointments without competition.
Competitions will resume in stages, and the implementation of the reform depends on Ukraine's receipt of 137 million euros in aid from the EU.
The Verkhovna Rada approved the law, which provides for the phased resumption of competitions for civil service positions and services in local self-government bodies.
