University lecturers took part in organizing and conducting a training on local recovery and further development planning for local government officials in Ukraine within the framework of the Project “Support to Local Government Recovery and Community Rehabilitation and Reconstruction in Ukraine”. The project is being implemented by the Agency for International Cooperation of the Association of Municipalities of the Kingdom of the Netherlands VNG International in partnership with the Association of Ukrainian Cities. The event was held in Kyiv.
The training was dedicated to improving local governance processes and the capacity of local authorities to plan and implement measures for the recovery and reconstruction of territorial communities in Kherson and Mykolaiv oblasts. Representatives of local communities were trained in the following areas: prioritization of projects and drawing up a roadmap for further recovery and development; citizen participation in the implementation of local recovery plans; and adjustments to local recovery plans to better mobilize resources.
