Decentralization of power in Ukraine is one of the priority reforms, which
includes creation of an effective system of organization and management
of socio-economic development at the local level. The current Ukrainian system
of local self-government does not correspond to the needs of society.
The functioning of local self-government bodies in the majority of territorial
communities does not provide creation and support of appropriate living environment,
which is necessary for profound development of a person, his/her
self-realization, protection of the rights, ensuring the quality and affordable
administrative, social and other services in the relevant territories. The aim
of the decentralization reform is transition from a centralized management
model in the country ensuring the self-sufficiency of local self-government
and building an effective system of territorial organization of power in
Ukraine. The result is creation and support of an appropriate living environment
for citizens, providing quality and accessible services, emergence of direct
democracy institutions, satisfying the interests of citizens in all spheres
of life-support systems in the relevant territory, coordinating the interests
of the state and territorial communities. Monitoring of realization of the
decentralization reform in Ukraine showed insignificant actual results of its
implementation, currently a complete legal framework in terms of powers,
resources and responsibilities has not been created yet. It is expedient to
conduct deep scientific and practical study of the world and Ukrainian experience,
develop and implement our own scientifically based system of power
decentralization taking into account the historical, ideological, cultural, social,
economic, geographical and other features of the country applying the
world’s best practices that can be used effectively.
