Забезпечення спроможності територіальних громад в Україні

Abstract

The essence of the concept of the capacity of territorial communities in Ukraine in the context of local self-government reform is investigated. It is noted that one of the main tasks of local government bodies in the context of local government reform is to strengthen the capacity of the territorial community, which is able to guarantee compliance with the rights and interests of its residents, as well as their protection. It has been proven that strengthening the capacity of territorial communities is the process of increasing the ability of local governments to act within the law, implementing the principle of the rule of law. The main result of the decentralization reform in Ukraine should be that the united territorial communities receive more powers and resources to implement them, and at the same time, responsibility. The main result of the decentralization reform in Ukraine should be that the united territorial communities receive more powers and resources to implement them, and at the same time, responsibility. That is why today ensuring the capacity of territorial communities is a relevant goal for both residents of territorial communities and local government bodies. It is noted that a territorial community as an administrative-territorial unit of the basic level is the integrity of the components: territorial-natural, demographic, economic-economic, social, and cultural-mental, and therefore is created according to the criteria of historical certainty and socio-economic feasibility. It has been proven that the capacity of a territorial community is the availability of budgetary, financial, resource, infrastructure and personnel conditions that determine the ability of a territorial community to provide quality public services to the population, as well as the opportunity to use one's own potential - managerial, financial, economic, investment, human, and public participation. It is noted that this direct research in the context of local government reform remains extremely relevant for further scientific research.
