Decentralization of power: challenges for newly elected local governments
The article is devoted to topical issues of power decentralization and the development of local government. The aim of the research is to identify challenges for local governments in the implementation of the decentralization reform and to develop proposals for the spatial development of territorial communities. The problems of functioning and development of united territorial communities have been identified. These problems are differentiation of powers between levels of government; reallocation of resources; discrepancy between delegated powers and financial support of communities; low level of training for the implementation of the powers of local authorities. The directions for overcoming the challenges are suggested. These directions are legislative support for the reform of the decentralization of power; ensuring the financial viability of communities; reallocation of resources; development of mechanisms, criteria for the spatial development of territorial communities; development of programs for the development of personnel of local authorities and newly created communities capable of ensuring the development of territories.
