Decentralised
democratic
systems
In order to achieve this we see three pivotal domains of change: decentralised democratic systems, effective and equitable
service delivery, and local sustainable development.
Decentralised democratic systems are a pre-condition for strong local and regional self-governance and thus people’s opportunities to shape their own lives. A decentralised system provides the institutional framework that allows national, regional and local governments to interact in an effective manner in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity that ensures that decisions are being made as close as possible to the citizens.

UKRAINE - Local Empowerment, Accountability and Development Programme
Decentralisation is one of the most important reforms of the Ukrainian government. To succeed in this reform it was crucial to reinforce the service delivery capacities of the public administration, including delegation of mission, mandate and responsibilities to local self-government bodies.The U-LEAD programme was initiated by the Government of Ukraine and the EU to support Ukraine’s decentralisation reform. Sida was delegated by the EU to implement support to improved administrative service delivery to the population by supporting the establishment or modernisation of up 600 Administrative Service Centres (ASCs) in newly amalgamated communities (hromadas).SKL International implements part of the task on behalf of Sida. The activities were divided into the Inception Phase and the Roll-Out Phase.
