To support Ukraine’s local self-government and the decentralisation reform the Programme “Enhancing decentralisation and public administration reform in Ukraine” is being implemented in the framework of the Council of Europe Action Plan for Ukraine (2018-2022).

The project aims at effective functioning of local self-government in Ukraine in line with the European standards and good practice and provision of high-quality public services to population. It is composed of the three inter-related components:

1. Improvement of legislative framework on local self-government in line with the European standards and good practice.
2. Enhancing capacities of local and regional authorities to deliver efficient and service oriented public administration.
3. Raising awareness of the results and impact of decentralisation of power and local self-government reform among general population and increasing participation of polyethnic/national minority communities in local governance.

With a total budget of €1.700.000 and a duration of 27 months the project was launched on 1 October 2020.
