The article analyzes the current trends in the development of public institutions in Ukraine. The role of non-governmental public organizations in providing social services is considered. The main trends in the development of the private sector have been studied. The role of grant projects is highlighted. The role and place of the private sector in the provision of social services has been considered. Examples of implementation of local initiatives and receiving grant support have been analyzed. The importance and urgency of the problems of non-governmental organizations in the field of social services have been highlighted. Youth organizations that join socially-oriented initiatives are developing. Directing relevant initiatives and work of youth organizations activates young people in local communities, involves in the advisory bodies formation, localization of relevant projects implemented at the level of united territorial communities of villages and small towns, where in previous years youth activity was low. In a decentralized environment, no matter how capable the community is, there are always issues that are difficult to solve at the expense of the local budget. As practice shows, several issues of local importance, which cannot be solved by the budget of the united territorial community, can be successfully solved at the expense of other resources, including grants. Most of the international projects were implemented territorially in Uman and adjacent territorial communities. Their success depended on fruitful intersectoral cooperation with the Faculty of Social and Psychological Pedagogy, which provided organizationally, volunteer and psychological support, and the Department of Labor and Social Protection of Uman City Council, which provided effective communication between all branches of government, information and financial support.

Prior research has established the existence of a differential between industrialized and other countries for e-Government diffusion. It attempts to explain this divide by identifying economic and technical variables. At the same time, the role of national governance institutions in e-Government diffusion has been relatively under-theorized and under-studied. The authors posit that, the existing national governance institutions shape the diffusion and assimilation of e-Government in any country via associated institutions in three key sectors: government, private sector and non-governmental organizations. This paper develops and tests a preliminary model of e-Government diffusion using the governance institutional climate as represented via democratic practices, transparency of private sector corporate governance, corruption perception, and the free press. The results indicate that the level of development of national governance institutions can explain the level of e-Government diffusion over and above economic and technical variables. The authors’ research contributes to the literature by providing initial evidence that the existing national governance institutions influence and shape e-Gov diffusion and assimilation beyond the adoption stage.

The Relationship

Although there are numerous definitions and theories of the concept of development, many developing countries continue to suffer from problems associated with lack of development and environmental degradation. It seems that states in developing countries are not effectively facing the increasing requirements for development. In response, institutions and organizations of civil society stepped-up to promote the realization of social development and self-reliance among the citizens. In consequence, the past twenty years witnessed the birth of many national and international non-governmental organizations which started to deliver social services to the population. However, and with reference to Egypt, conflicting opinions questioning the relationship between these organizations and the development of civil society have started to emerge. This paper attempts to investigate first the role of these societies in the development of civil society and review the controversy over this role. The attempt will also touch upon and evaluate several studies which relate to the role of these organizations in the development of civil society in Egypt.

The article is devoted to the problem of social work with the elderly, which requires the study and determination of the features of such work for various modern social services. The relevance of the topic of the article is due to the growing number of clients of social services among the elderly. Previous studies of the social needs of this category of the population predict worsening a number of problems due to the shortcomings of state social security. The solution to the problem, according to the authors of the article, is related to the activities of non-governmental organizations that can provide social services to the elderly. In particular, the article describes the experience of a charitable foundation that operates according to an atypical scheme of aid organization. Not through the provision of funds, but primarily through the implementation of their own projects with the support of other social services of various forms. The article discusses how the needs and characteristics of the elderly can be taken into account in practical social work with clients. The authors rely on the materials of their own research, which was conducted by case study from April to October 2019 on the experience of the Kharkiv Charitable Foundation «Social service of assistance». The article states that the main directions of social protection of the elderly in modern conditions should be not only to improve their difficult financial situation, provide a sufficient level of medical care but also to improve the psychological and emotional state of people. The results obtained by researchers can contribute to the dissemination of successful experience of social work with the elderly; scientific analysis of problematic issues and obstacles in the activities of the charity fund with the elderly; optimization of further work of funds and other social services in this direction. In addition, according to the authors, the hypothesis of indifferent attitude of society to the problems of the elderly needs to be studied scientifically, because this factor significantly hinders the implementation of social assistance to this group of clients by various social services, including charitable foundations.

In this article, I analyze the role of professionals (as part of the middle classes) and their communities in fostering reforms within the fields of higher education and social protection, and working towards, and supporting, the development of civil society. The analysis is based on the series of studies that explored lawmaking and policy-making processes in the fields of law, employment, social protection, rural development, tax policies and civil society development. The analysis of the work of professional communities, and the course of changes in these fields, indicates that policy networks had a major impact on the public policymaking process. These networks bring together typical representatives of the middle class: professionals, government officials, professional associations, representatives of modern non-governmental organizations, etc. The interests, upon which these networks were based, can be classified into three groups: (1) control of conditions of reproduction of the profession, (2) control of public resources in a given system (which includes, but is not limited to, control of the funding channels) and (3) control of conditions of reproduction of a given system. All these interests have a clear redistributive character, are -in general - focused on the control of public resources and have created an alliance between the middle classes and the elite. Middle classes have participated in the process of making laws and public policies in a way that has deepened the political inequalities, and to phenomena which, by analogy with the process of state capture by the elite, can be recognized as the capture of resources by the middle classes. The analysis points to an important aspect of sluggish social reforms: the lack of enthusiasm among middle classes and professional elite in fostering deep social change which is due to their ideological and redistributive alliances and strategies of ?resources capturing.?

Restructuring Process

With the globalization process and the transition to the information society, change policies in public administration have emerged. In this context, many regulations were made in the 2000s. Participation, accountability, governance, and localization trends have gained importance in the provision of services. As a result of the new public administration approach, holding the non-governmental organizations, private sector, and local administrations responsible for the fulfillment of their duties and responsibilities gained momentum with the withdrawal of the state from the social sphere. The aim of the study is to evaluate the restructuring process that occurs in social services within the scope of restructuring studies carried out in the country. Within the scope of decentralization of services, social municipalism, which is the new aspect of localization of social services, will be emphasized. At this point, it is aimed to reveal the change in social services within the scope of the new public administration approach.
