The Role of the Private Sector In The Public Service Of The Ukralne

Abstract

The system of social service provision in the Ukraine functions due to its traditional patterns of social-political interaction. Private social service providers played a limited role in this process as their Institutional recognition has always been problematic. We can diversify service providing by the public and private actors interacting in this provision. In the complexity of their interactions the key variable has been philanthropy, which transformed from support of the individual to an overarching nationalistic ideology. The dynamics of social-political governance is expressed now in the tensions between more traditional patterns of interactions based on their reciprocity with the economic, political and ideology crisis the country is facing Ineffective management of government social service providers, prevalence of western donor-rooted Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs), failures of indigenous NGOs to achieve the social value, moral degradation and disbelief in democracy and reforms in population characterize social service provision in the country now.
