ARMA Competition: Commission Extends Document Submission Deadline

At its meeting on January 19, the Commission selecting the Head of ARMA announced a three-week extension of the document submission deadline for all those wishing to take part in the competition.

According to the Commission Chair, as of the meeting date, 13 applicants had submitted documents—too few to ensure a high-quality selection process. In addition, the Commission took into account the difficult conditions with electricity supply and communications, which prevented many candidates from properly preparing their document packages and submitting them on time.

Therefore, in light of the competition’s objectives, the Commission unanimously decided to extend the submission deadline by another three weeks—through February 9, 2026, inclusive.

As we mentioned earlier, a candidate for the position of ARMA Head must:

• be a citizen of Ukraine, 
• hold a higher legal or economic education, 
• have at least five years of professional experience, 
• have at least three years of experience in managerial positions, 
• be fluent in the state language and one of the official languages of the Council of Europe,
• demonstrate integrity and professional competence.

More details on the eligibility requirements are available on the Cabinet of Ministers’ website.

Previously, the Commission published answers to the most frequently asked questions about preparing the documents required to apply for the competition.
