Agency of civil service under the President of the Republic of Tajikistan

The civil service is an integral part of the public administration system and contains legal norms regulating public-service relations. The adoption of the Constitution of the Republic of Tajikistan marked the beginning of the creation of a new system of statehood and created a favorable basis for the gradual improvement of the public administration system and the reform of the civil service. The Constitution of the Republic of Tajikistan recognizes a person, his rights and freedoms as the highest value, which is one of the generally accepted values of the civilized world. Among the rights enshrined in the Constitution of the Republic of Tajikistan (article 27) are the direct participation of citizens of the Republic of Tajikistan in public administration and the equal right to public service. This right is a sphere that determines the attitude of a citizen to the state, and at the same time represents the essence of public service as a profession. In accordance with the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, adopted in 1966, the equal right of citizens to enter public service is an integral part of constitutional law in many countries. Tajikistan has also adopted this universally recognized criterion in order to organize effective public administration and implement the principles of transparency, democracy and accessibility of State power to the people.The creation of effective public administration as the basis for sustainable economic development, poverty reduction and one of the main goals of Tajikistan's national development.Modern practice of statehood in developed countries shows that the implementation of public policy, including public service, depends on the competence, knowledge and skills, and a high level of professionalism of civil servants. The more civil servants have knowledge, skills and managerial skills, the more effective their professional activities are and the comprehensive development of the pillars of the state is ensured. The organization of effective activities is the mission of public administration, and it is necessary to attract honest people and competent specialists with modern knowledge, deep spirituality and high professional level to the civil service so that they can serve the interests of the people and the Motherland. The adoption of the Law of the Republic of Tajikistan dated November 13, 1998 No. 677 "on civil service" provided for the creation of an authorized body with special powers, in connection with which, in order to implement a unified state policy in the civil service, by Decree of the President of the Republic of Tajikistan dated January 25, 2001 No. 475, a new authorized body in the field of public administration of Tajikistan was created The Department of Public Service under the President of the Republic of Tajikistan. The structure of the central office of the Civil Service Administration consisted of management, departments of legal support of the civil service, personnel support of the civil service, development of qualification requirements and remuneration system for civil servants, analysis and information, administrative and economic activities. The establishment of this institution was one of the achievements of the period of state independence of the Republic of Tajikistan, it created a favorable basis for the formation of a new system of statehood, gradual improvement of the civil service and its reforms.The phased activities of the Civil Service Department under the President of the Republic of Tajikistan were aimed at selecting employees and training them by organizing theoretical and practical classes, analyzing and using the experience of the civil service of developed countries and developing departmental acts for the implementation of the activities of the department and its structural divisions. Also, in a short period, normative legal acts provided for by the Law of the Republic of Tajikistan dated November 13, 1998 "On Public Service" were developed and ratified. The founder of peace and national unity, Leader of the Nation, President of the Republic of Tajikistan, Dear Emomali Rahmon, in his Message to the Majlisi Oli of the Republic of Tajikistan dated April 22, 2002, stressed: "One of the most important issues of the day is the regulation of relations related to public service. They are the driving force and strengthening of the state and statehood. Therefore, they should be an example of the highest discipline, selfless and dedicated work. In order to enhance the role and position of civil servants in society, their discipline and level of knowledge, professional experience, selection of talented and dedicated personnel and bringing the structure of the country's departments to a certain system, the Civil Service Department under the President of the Republic of Tajikistan was established. This newly created body needs to start solving existing problems as soon as possible and ensure order and order in this direction." In order to conduct retraining, advanced training and internships for civil servants, increase the level of knowledge of civil servants and strengthen their contribution to the effectiveness of public administration, Decree No. 926 of the President of the Republic of Tajikistan dated October 9, 2002, the Institute for Advanced Training of Civil Servants of the Republic of Tajikistan was established at the Civil Service Department, which successfully functioned until 2013. In this round, the strategy for the reform of the public administration system of the Republic of Tajikistan dated March 15, 2006, No. 1713, the concept for the reform of the Civil Service of the Republic of Tajikistan dated June 1, 2007, No. 289 and the program for the reform of the civil service of the Republic of Tajikistan dated August 31, 2007, No. 448 were adopted.The Law of the Republic of Tajikistan "On Public Service" dated March 5, 2007 No. 233 was also adopted in a new version, which provided for strengthening the functions and powers of the Board. According to these documents, the issue of strengthening the capacity of the Civil Service Department, its local structures and the Institute for Advanced Training of Civil Servants was in demand in the civil service reform program of the Republic of Tajikistan. To this end, by Decree of the President of the Republic of Tajikistan dated June 9, 2007 No. 264, the regulations, the structure of the central office and the management plan of the Civil Service Department under the President of the Republic of Tajikistan were approved in a new edition, and its local structures in the regions and the city of Dushanbe were created with additional shifts and the Department of Public Administration of the Institute of Advanced Training. The total number of civil servants of the Department has been increased to 48, including 28 working units for the central office of Management. The founder of peace and national unity, the Leader of the Nation, the President of the Republic of Tajikistan, dear Emomali Rahmon, in his Message to the Majlisi Oli of the Republic of Tajikistan dated April 25, 2008, stated: "In order to form and improve the system of professional public service, a new version of the law " On Public Service" was adopted last year. For the full implementation of this law and the proper promotion of the state personnel policy, first of all, the Department of Public Service needs to develop and coordinate the system of public service of the Republic of Tajikistan and the necessary regulatory legal acts on this issue, as well as take effective measures to strengthen the unified system of public service. In this regard, the heads of all government agencies must ensure compliance with the provisions of the Law "On Civil Service" on competitive recruitment, certification, retraining, advanced training and social protection of civil servants. Managers and responsible employees of all levels of the civil service and in general all civil servants should always remember that the oath of office of the President of the country is awarded not only to the head of state, but also to each of them ten times. As a result of these instructions, the Concept of the State Personnel Policy of the Republic of Tajikistan No. 582 dated December 31, 2008 and the program of its implementation for 2009-2016 dated April 29, 2009 No. 252 were developed and approved, which play an important role in the implementation of the reform of public administration and public service. At the next stage of the development of the civil service and modern public administration of the Republic of Tajikistan, it was necessary to create conditions for the training of more highly qualified personnel with professional knowledge and skills.
