Dmytro Shymkiv: Strategy of Reforms – 2020 is the achievement of European living standards Deputy Head of the Presidential Administration of Ukraine, Chairman of the Executive Committee of the National Council of Reforms Dmytro Shymkiv presented the Strategy of Reforms – 2020 to the public. The main thing in the implementation of the given reforms is values that united us in our desire to live under the European standards and were demonstrated to the whole world in the course of the Revolution of Dignity, Dmytro Shymkiv said. The purpose of reforms is the achievement of European living standards and decent place for Ukraine in the world. Strategy – 2020 contains more than 60 reforms. Among them the top priorities are the renewal of government, anti-corruption reform, judicial reform, decentralization and state governance reform, deregulation and development of entrepreneurship, reform of the law enforcement system, reform of the national security and defense system, health-care reform and tax reform. Also, two most urgent state programs were defined: energy independence and promotion of Ukraine in the world. The key figures to be achieved by 2020: increase the share of GDP per capita from $8508 to $16000, reach the top 20 countries in the ease of doing business, raise $40 billion in foreign direct investment, bring military expenditures from current 1.02% to 5% of GDP, increase average life expectancy by 3 years. Dmytro Shymkiv emphasizes that reforms should result in a new social contract between the government, civil society and business. Each party to the contract must reconsider its functions and start interacting under new rules. According to the given rules, the government serves to the public, operates simply, transparently and attractively; civil society actively controls actions of the government and faithfully serves for the public welfare; business operates in a new way – pays taxes honestly and supports the public. Unlike many attempts to implement reforms in Ukraine, the initiative of the President Strategy – 2020 is adaptive. It is not a temporary political project. It is based on extensive public participation and focused on the sustainability of the government and the creation of a mechanism of broad discussion area. With feedback, it is capable of being flexible and relevant to the challenges of time, as well as becoming a real instrument of public transformation, Dmytro Shymkiv stressed. Deputy Head of the Presidential Administration of Ukraine noted that only management of something that can be measured can be efficient. Strategy – 2020 provides for the mechanism of constant monitoring of the efficiency. The event was held in the National University of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy. The presentation was attended by NGO representatives, members of political parties, public figures, experts, scientists, representatives of business associations and media. president.gov.ua/en/news/31305.html
