Statement by Deputy Minister of Social Policy of Ukraine for European Integration Ms Statement by Deputy Minister of Social Policy of Ukraine for European Integration Ms. Olga Revuk during the general debate on the main topic "Socially just transition towards sustainable development: the role of digital technologies for social development and general well-being" COMMISSION FOR SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT 59th SESSION (8-17 FEBRUARY 2021) Good afternoon, dear participants! First of all, I want to emphasize that Ukrainian society is undoubtedly interested to be integrated into the global digital space, since it will influence the development of the Ukrainian economy, investment inflows, job creation, small and medium business development, potential work in global international projects. In 2017, the Government adopted the Concept for the Development of e-Government in Ukraine, approved the Action Plan for its implementation and adopted the Law “On Electronic Trust Services”. In September 2019, the Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine was established, which ensures the formation and implementation of state policy in the area of digital development, digital economy and e- government. Markups set accessibility for Ukraine follow 3 major guidelines: - better Internet accessibility for consumers and businesses; - creation of appropriate conditions for the regulation of advanced digital networks; - building the digital economy through investment, interoperability and standardization. 2 The Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine implements the full-scale digital project of modern Ukraine “Diia. Digital power”. The aim of the project is to unite all departments into a unique user-friendly and effective online system and to make communication between citizens and businesses with the state convenient and transparent. It is planned that by 2024, 100 percent of public services will be available online. At the same time, one of the goals is refusal to use paper documents. I would also like to inform you that in October 2020 the Government approved the Strategy for the Digital Transformation of the Social Sphere, which aims to create a single record of providers and recipients of social services and benefits. One of the measures aimed at providing services to citizens during the COVID-19 pandemic is that following applications are downloaded electronically through the online portal "Diia" and the official website of the Ministry of Social Policy on the appointment: - childbirth assistance; - issuance of a certificate to parents of large families; - reimbursement of care services for children under three years in frame of the "Municipal Nanny" project; - housing subsidy; assistance for children of natural persons-entrepreneurs who have chosen a simplified system of taxation. An electronic version of the IDP certificate was developed, which can be presented without its paper analogue. It will make life easier for almost 1.5 million registered IDPs. Today, the main issue in terms to provide reform of decentralization and administrative-territorial system is to transfer of social services closely to the residents of territorial communities. 3 The main task of the Ministry is the implementation of the Program Complex "Integrated Information System" Social Community ". More than 470 territorial communities have already joined this complex. In addition, the web portal of electronic services of the Pension Fund provides remote services through the personal offices of citizens and employers. There is a mobile application "Pension Fund", and the tool called Pension Calculator assists in provisional computing of future pension on retirement by age. The automated centralized subsystem "Assignment and payment of pensions based on electronic pension business" was developed. More than 11 thousand people made use of this service. Currently, 1.6 million from more than 10 million active pension cases, were digitized, and it is planned to be completed by 2024, which will free up space occupied by paper archives. In 2020, the Ministry of Social Policy of Ukraine introduced the information platform "Help Near" in order to attract charities, NGOs, businesses, volunteers to help lonely elder people, people with disabilities, families with children, including children with disabilities during the quarantine period caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The platform contains information about the need for assistance and a report on its provision on a daily basis. So far, more than 600,000 citizens have benefited. I would like to emphasize that in a short time it is impossible to list all the measures taken by Ukrainian Government to transform our country into a digital state. Many services need to be digitized, the legal framework needs to be updated, the work of state registers needs to be streamlined, 4 technical capabilities and data protection need to be ensured. The changes will affect not only administrative services, but also health care, business, education, transport, courts, democracy, and more. Undoubtedly, digital technologies open up unique opportunities for economic development and improving the quality of life of citizens. We’ll find the profound consequences of the transition to digital technologies only when the "digital" transformation becomes the basis of society, business and government agencies, considering as a commonplace and everyday phenomenon, a key agenda on the path to prosperity and well- being of Ukraine. Thank you for attention! The second part – Statement by Ukrainian Youth Delegate to the UN 2020-2021 Mr. Dmytro Tomenko In today's world, digitalization is one of the determining factors of balanced environmental development of the country and society as a whole. Today, the development of this process in Ukraine has allowed young people to participate in the implementation and realization of digital projects in the fields of youth policy, culture and sports, to use public services online through the service "DIYA", thus using a maximum of the capabilities of their gadgets and many other benefits. What became very relevant when the COVID-19 pandemic shook the world and forced a large number of industries to master the world online. So today, with the rapid globalization and spread of information technologies, more and more young people are thinking for the future, insuring against possible risks, and therefore mastering new types and forms of employment, such as freelance, employment through online platforms and applications, seeking for greater freedom and flexibility. 5 Which precedes the creation of new institutions in Ukraine, such as the Ministry of Digital Transformation, and as a result, new jobs. However, it is important to remember that a balanced sustainable development of the whole society will take place under the condition of conservation and renewal of natural resources, same the preservation of the environment is inextricably linked to development issues. Its full achievement requires profound structural changes in public administration and new ways of working in various spheres of economic, social and political life. Therefore, there is the need to create cross-sectoral institutions with the implementation of administrative mechanisms for environmentally sustainable development at all levels, as well as integrative mechanisms that will involve governments, socially responsible business, civil society (including active youth) and the private sector in the ongoing dialogue on sustainability, developing a shared vision, planning and deciding on future development using the necessary digital tools. With a clear compromise between all sides in the areas of digitalization, employment, social integration and environmental protection, it is possible to achieve balance, which together will support sustainable development without depleting but renewing human and natural resources, and thus will be effective in the long perspective. Thanks! .

The analysis of implementation of state programs of e-government development has been conducted. It has been determined that for the creation of the effective public space and the development of e-government, its security remains an important component (government prevents the dissemination of private information about citizens, protection of their personal data, ease and accessibility of the information society, digital literacy and many other aspects). The mechanism of e-governance analysis has been described by such key indicators as: organizational capacity and technical infrastructure; information content of official websites; use of electronic participation tools; access to public information in the form of open data; access to administrative services in electronic form; introduction of electronic document management systems. Key words: public administration, e-government, e-democracy, e- governance, Information and Communication Technologies. General problem statement. Exploring the public space from the standpoint of e-governance in Ukraine and building on the experience of European countries, we can identify a significant number of scientific approaches and effective practices for the development of socio-economic sphere of the population of European countries and Ukraine. 211 East Journal of Security Studies Vol.2 At this point, we cannot imagine solving operational and communication issues without the Internet, technical media and devices.
