The U-LEAD with Europe Programme experts received clarification from the National Agency of Ukraine on Civil Service regarding the powers of local self-government bodies in terms of combining other functions in the position of administrator or delegating administrator’s powers to other local self-government bodies (LSG). This issue is especially relevant for rural and urban hromadas, that face problems in attracting skilled personnel.

According to the clarification, the administrator may be entrusted with tasks other than those specified in Article 13 of the Law of Ukraine “On Administrative Services”. Also, according to the provisions of Article 26 of the Law “On Local Self-Government in Ukraine”, according to the National Agency on Civil Service, the functions of an administrator may be appointed to a local self-government official.
