Following the launch of the OECD report, Maintaining the Momentum of Decentralisation in Ukraine in June 2018, the OECD continues its work in support of Ukraine’s decentralisation reforms. This follows Ukraine’s efforts to adhere to the OECD Recommendation on Effective Public Investment across Levels of Government. The project has high visibility in Ukraine, and its theme is referenced in the policy platforms of Ukraine’s political leaders. Although decentralisation remains one of the policy areas where reforms are generally perceived to have been successful, much more needs to be done for the positive effects to be perceived among the population at ground level.

Main objective
Strengthen the government’s capacities at the national and local levels to implement targeted recommendations from the report and present good practices from OECD countries which have addressed similar challenges.
Approach
Working closely with the Ministry for Communities and Territories Development; the Ministry of Economic Development, Trade and Agriculture; the Ministry of Infrastructure; and the newly elected authorities at subnational levels, including at City and Hromada levels, the OECD will hold four capacity-building seminars across different regions in Ukraine to present and discuss the OECD’s ten guidelines for effective decentralisation conducive to regional development from the handbook, Making Decentralisation Work (2019). They will also target specific policy themes further to the 2018 report recommendations.

The seminar in Kyiv presented the Ukrainian version of the OECD’s ten guidelines for effective decentralisation conducive to regional development and discussed their applicability to Ukraine’s specific context. The guidelines are intended to provide practical guidance for identifying conditions to achieve the goals of countries’ unique decentralisation processes.
