secure transport environment for public authorities (ETS). The creation of digitalization of electronic
services will simplify procedures for the provision of public services to the population.
Public sector management reform is an ever-expanding topic that echoes many other institutional
changes in the public and private sectors. In this regard, the coordination of the process of reforming
the civil service and the provision of public services should be carried out by one authorized state body.
To ensure a proper level of coordination, access to information and interaction between the participants
in the reform process, this state body should have the appropriate status for the implementation of the
following functions: coordination and organizational and methodological support of the development
and implementation of standards for the provision of services; organization and implementation of non-
departmental (external) monitoring of compliance with standards for the provision of public services.
A new direction – digital space-is actively being formed. The system of state regulation with the help
of the laws of this space forms a new branch of law as a digital right. At the moment, there are already all
the signs: the standard (establishes rules for the conduct of a General nature); General obligation (applies
to all or to a large circle of entities); warranty government (backed by state coercion); the intellectual-
volitional nature (law expresses the will and consciousness of people); formal certainty (the rules of
law are expressed in the official form); consistency (law is an internally consistent, orderly organism).
Digital law is a system of binding, formally defined, state-guaranteed rules of conduct that develops in
the field of application or through the use of digital technologies, including through special software.
The introduction of a system of monitoring the assessment of consumers and service providers is a
proven and effective method of studying the current state of the art in the field of service provision and
the formation of a Strategy for further improvement of public services, taking into account the needs and
expectations of consumers. The expediency is explained by the fact that the state, as a society, should
put in equal conditions of responsibility for the quality of services. The system should be based on
administrative regulations and public service standards. Another important step towards protecting the
interests and rights of citizens is the creation of administrative courts, in which the state body must prove
that
it did not violate the laws, providing services, if consumers have complaints about their quality.
For the first time the idea of creating "electronic government" was announced in the annual Address
of the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan "to
competitive Kazakhstan, competitive economy,
competitive nation" in 2004. For thirteen years works on formation and development of "electronic
government" of the Republic of Kazakhstan were carried out. The infrastructure of "electronic
government" was formed, its basic components were created and state services were implemented in
electronic form on the web portal of "electronic government" (hereinafter-the Portal). In order to increase
the coverage of public services, alternative channels of interaction between the population and public
authorities were implemented, such as the Portal, the mobile application of "electronic government",
public service centers (hereinafter - CAO), the open government and a Single contact center.
Foreign experience has shown that public service reform and the improvement of public service
delivery are part of a more complex transformation of public sector governance. Analysis of foreign
experience under this component was aimed at identifying the main causes, trends and approaches to
reforms in the field in such countries as Canada, Poland, Greece, Hungary, Australia, Germany, great
Britain, the United States, Malaysia and a number of other States. The choice of these countries is due,
on the one hand, to the similarity of the existing problems in
Kazakhstan, on the other - the impressive
results achieved by these countries in the course of reforms.
In the reform of public services, in order to achieve sustainable results, it is necessary to simultaneously
develop the appropriate infrastructure to support the delivery of public services. Such infrastructure
involves the creation of a network of organizations and institutions that facilitate the provision of
public services through research, the formation of information databases, the provision of advice and
training for both civil servants and consumers of services. Abroad, such organizations operate on the
basis of the following principles: - maximum proximity and orientation to the needs of the consumer;
- professionalism in the management of activities and the provision of services; - sustainability of the
results; - the practical benefits of their activities.
For example, in Canada there are telephone centres "1-800 Canada", which provide the necessary
information to the population about where and when you can get a certain service. There are also
"access Centers" that provide consulting services to start-up entrepreneurs. These centres are located
26
in government buildings throughout Canada. Their peculiarity is that in addition to providing advice to
entrepreneurs, they provide a significant amount of public services and work on the principle of "one
window". In Poland in 2002 an Information centre for the public service was established. The aim of its
creation is to increase the access of ordinary citizens and civil servants themselves to information on the
types of public services, the areas of activity of individual state bodies and institutions, etc.in Greece,
as part of the reform of the administrative system, a "quality Program" has been developed, which
provides for the creation of Advisory centers for public services, integrated into a single information
network. In Hungary, a pilot project was implemented in one of the regions, in which an information
centre was set up with the participation of all government agencies. The centre provided citizens with
access to information on the interaction with various public services. In the future, this experience will
be disseminated throughout the country.
Germany has developed the electronic government program "BundOnline-2005". The provision of
services by the administrative authorities of the state will be improved through the use of information
technology. The Federal government already provides 170 types of services using the Internet. Special
attention is paid to the simplification of procedures for registration of small and medium-sized businesses.
The process of improving the provision of public services is closely related to the practical application
of the principle of "feedback" to the consumer of services. In the United States in the framework of the
national program "First priority of customers", the monitoring of the evaluation of the quality of services
and study of the expectations of consumers. In addition, regular surveys are conducted among public
officials who are in direct contact with the public in the provision of services, with a view to identifying
shortcomings and collecting proposals to achieve the level of standards of quality of services provided
by the private sector.
In Australia, the web site "Canberra Connect" also exhibited forms that can fill out a wish to suggest
ways of improving the provision of each separate service. The practical application of the principle of
"feedback" with the consumer is a proven and effective method of studying the current state of the art in
the field of services and the formation of a strategy for further improvement of public services, taking
into account the needs and expectations of consumers.
In Kazakhstan, the main task, in our opinion, is to change the mentality
of civil servants at all
levels, who must learn that their task is not to command and order, but to provide services to the main
consumer - the population, at the expense of which contains the entire state apparatus. The introduction
of" e-Government " is also fraught with problems such as massive computer illiteracy. According to
experts, 58.8% of Kazakhstan people do not know how to use a computer, there is a lack of awareness
of citizens, etc. The essence of the new stage of administrative reform in Kazakhstan is reduced to a
brief formula - from administration to management. The requirement of efficiency and quality in the
provision of public services should become the Central point of public service policy.
Currently, the Agency of the Republic of Kazakhstan for civil service Affairs and anti-corruption
analyzes the services provided by public authorities at the Central and local levels. The results of the
analysis and proposals for further improvement of the process of providing public services in Kazakhstan
will be submitted to the relevant state bodies to determine further measures in this area.
Improving the quality of public services will also require improving the quality of public sector
personnel. Public servants will be subject to higher requirements than before,
in the future will be
required knowledge of English or other foreign language, the ability to use a computer. The introduction
of standards for the provision of public services, the focus of the state apparatus on consumers and
customers of services will require the ability to work at a better level in direct contact with the population.
Currently, these conditions are being introduced into the qualification requirements for civil servants.
Assessment of the work of civil service personnel, training of civil servants - all these activities are
already being carried out, and in the future these processes will be focused on better service to citizens.
Kazakhstan has adopted the Law" on public services", which defines the rights and obligations of
service recipients, service providers and suppliers of public services, establishes requirements for the
development of the register, standards and regulations of public services, in addition, the regulation of
the activities of PSCs and the provision of services in electronic format. At the same time, internal and
public control is included, for which NGOs will be involved, as well as the possibility of pre-trial appeal
and judicial procedure for complaints on the quality of public services to the population.
