The article explores the essence of public administration of the state’s resource resilience as a comprehensive process aimed at ensuring the strategic readiness of the socio-economic system to crisis challenges. It is substantiated that the system of state material reserves serves as a key institutional instrument for shaping the state’s resource capacity under conditions of martial law, energy and food crises, and environmental risks.
It is demonstrated that the Ukrainian State Research Institute “Resurs” is a crucial scientific and analytical partner of the central executive authority responsible for forming and implementing state policy in the field of state reserves - the State Agency for the Management of Reserves of Ukraine. UkrNDI “Resurs” is tasked with providing comprehensive scientific-methodological, expert-analytical, and technological support for state policy in the management of state reserves. The Institute is positioned as a next-generation scientific and analytical center combining research, forecasting, technological development, and scientific-expert support for state policy in the field of state reserves. Its uniqueness lies in integrating fundamental science, applied research, and practical implementation through managerial, economic, legal, and technological instruments.
The study identifies that effective public administration of state reserves requires the integration of risk-oriented approaches, digital stock monitoring systems, and transparent mechanisms of interagency coordination.
A structural-functional model for ensuring the state’s resource resilience is proposed, combining tools of strategic planning, risk management, transparent reserve logistics, and institutional accountability. It is argued that Ukraine’s post-war recovery and the modernization of public management of strategic reserves constitute an integrated system of national resource resilience. This system simultaneously ensures: strategic preparedness for crisis scenarios; the efficient allocation of resources and budgetary funds; the alignment of Ukrainian management processes with European standards; the enhancement of institutional capacity and transparency in public administration; and the preservation of humanitarian security and social stability.
