The Council of Europe peer review report “Democratic governance in metropolitan areas in Ukraine, focusing on Kyiv Region” was presented in Kyiv on 24 July 2019.
The report was prepared by a team of four international peers from city agglomerations in Germany (Hamburg), Italy (Turin), Poland (Warsaw) and the United Kingdom (London) and Council of Europe’s experts. It contains recommendations for upgrading the current system, legislation and practice of governance for metropolitan areas, focusing on Kyiv Region.
The Council of Europe in partnership with the Kyiv City State Administration and the Association of Ukrainian Cities shall implement the series of follow up activities to promote implementation of the peer review recommendations. One of such activities is the Leadership development programme, based on the Council of Europe toolkit and adapted to the specific needs of Kyiv metropolitan area.
The Peer Review, which was organised within the Programme “Decentralisation and Local Government Reform in Ukraine” and in co-operation with the European Committee on Democracy and Governance, will provide a report and recommendations for up-grading the current system and provision of public services to citizens.
