In the article author examines the issues of participation of civil society institutions in the formation of public councils under the ministries in Uzbekistan and foreign countries. In the course of the study, the problems of ensuring the openness of the formation of public councils and the absence of a procedure for nominating candidates by civil society institutions and self-nomination of citizens were identified. Based on the results of the study, the author put forward practical recommendations for determining the mechanism of citizens' participation in the formation of public councils and ensuring their representativeness, independence and impartiality.
