A picture is worth a thousand words. The Ivano-Frankivsk Local Government Development Centre, with the support of the U-LEAD with Europe Programme, organised a study tour for village and rural settlement heads of the Dolyna and Kolomyya Rayons on the Local Self-Governance Day.

The Ivano-Frankivsk LGDC showed an example of the Mateyivetska hromada to those still weighing all the pros and cons of life in AH. In less than a year, 31 infrastructure projects have been launched. The largest funds have been invested this year in the development of settlements located far from hromada’s centre. The village of Debeslavtsi is a vivid example.

“Since the hromada’s establishment, Zapruttya villages have been in our priority work list. It is all caused by the fact that for a number of years many things evaded this territory. Over the time of hromada’s existence, we have managed to achieve a lot here – health post renovation, overhaul of the administrative building of starosta circuit, several kilometres of asphalt covering,” says Petro Knyshuk, head of the Mateyivetska AH.”
