For all the reform years the MinRegion has been guided with the philosophy, according to which the powers and resources has to be concentrated on the hromada level – as close as possible to the people. The philosophy hasn’t changed. All the bills, developed by the ministry professionals and experts, aimed at forming a new system of the local authorities bodies and guaranteeing a sustainable local and regional development, are based on this philosophy.

It was highlighted by Vyacheslav Nehoda, Deputy Minister of Development of Communities and Territories of Ukraine during the Decentralisation Vectors: On Tasks and Further Steps open online dialogue, held in Ivano-Frankivsk.
