Presenter Abstract Assessment of impact of Public Management Reforms is a critical issue for Kyrgyzstan that is still in its transition period, and of high interest for me, as it relates to my professional area of expertise. I work as a Public Management Expert/ Coordinator of EC TACIS Project “Support to the Civil Service Reform in the Kyrgyz Republic” headed by Mr. Daryoush Farsimadan since March 2001. I am involved in various activities that will lead to improvement of operational efficiency and service delivery effectiveness of the public management, in particular, in the Ministry of Justice, Ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry of Labour. One of the ways to look at the efficiency and effectiveness of public management is to go through systematic analysis of how functions are currently performed, what is the impact of the specific improvements of existing structures and procedures, and help staff of the organization come to better understanding of the organization’s functions and find ways of improving their performance. Although the implementation of numerous activities, programmes and projects are on their way but the concept of Public Management Reforms and a clear road map for its attainment remain unclear yet. This has resulted in a number of issues, which need to be urgently addressed, some to be mentioned: - Prevalence of “crisis management” in ministries and the state institutions, and insufficient focus of activities on result; - Inefficient use of existing resources and slowing down of development processes; - Failure to match policy to real needs and to secure adequate strategic direction and control; - Corruption and non target use of state resources. Kyrgyzstan faces a lot of difficulties in successful implementation of administrative and public management reforms. It is clear that current stage of the Kyrgyz Republic development dynamics requires higher quality of the civil service and presence of well-developed system of analysis and improvement. Public Management functions change with the change of political & economic development of the country, and those functions require regular assessment according to the requirements of time and needs of the society. In spite of high necessity contemporary methods and instruments of analysis & organizational diagnostic have not been incorporated into the system of public management and administration. For this namely reason I would like to conduct such kind of research to acquire those methods and worldwide experience, and to be helpful to my country.
