Within the framework of the Donor Board on decentralisation in Ukraine, three new thematic working groups will be established on healthcare, safety and social security in amalgamated hromadas.

It was discussed during the meeting of the thematic working group on sectoral decentralisation within the framework of the Donor Board.

The participants of the event agreed that the issues of organisation of high-quality and affordable services in healthcare, safety, social security, law enforcement and fire safety in amalgamated hromadas need to be urgently solved and supported by donors in the course of decentralisation. Consequently, it became necessary to form new thematic working groups in these areas within the framework of the Donor Board.

International technical assistance projects will coordinate their efforts to support the relevant changes proposed by the line ministries.
