Heads of villages, included in the Vilshanska AH of the Zhytomyr Oblast, are preparing for work with new powers and resources. The Zhytomyr Local Government Development Centre established with the support of the U-LEAD with Europe Programme and MinRegion organised a seminar “Vilshanska AH: from creation to development” for former heads and secretaries of five village councils in the newly established hromada.
