Abstract

Formation of capable local communities is one of the main objectives of the decentralisation reform in Ukraine. Article analyzes the approaches to understanding the concept of capability of the local community. It is concluded that the availability of appropriate resources (natural, economic, financial, personnel, etc.) are the basic prerequisite of the communities’ capacity. Good governance of these resources should provide sustainable economic growth and the welfare of the inhabitants of local communities. Article defines the ways and mechanisms to ensure the capacity of communities, including: the integration of communities; the fiscal decentralization; the effective use of municipal property and natural resources; the cooperation of local communities. Measures of integration of communities and fiscal decentralization implemented in 2015 are analyzed. Priorities for improvement of legal support and formation of organizational and economic mechanisms aimed at establishment and development of self-sufficient local communities are offered.
