The motivation to
create consolidated territorial communities is the opportunity to solve problems
on the ground and implement projects of local importance gained as a result of
devolution of administrative powers and accumulation of resources. This was
stated by Prime Minister of Ukraine Volodymyr Groysman in his communication with
media people in Ternopil region.
"The essential drive should be resources and powers. The community has amalgamated - it has finance and authority", stressed Volodymyr Groysman.
He added that the
consolidation process must be voluntary. "It is crucial to achieve that
the community as a result of amalgamation obtained maximum sustainability -
both in terms of territory and quantity. Then they will have sufficient funding,
authority to build quality education services, health care, to create modern
infrastructure, to invest in culture, local economic development", the
Head of Government said. “The process of consolidation should be accelerated,
but only through dialogue, clarification, discussion and persuasion. A
voluntary association never destroys the identity of a village, but instead allows
for an increase in budgets. You will observe instantaneous results."
Moreover, the Head of Government announced that the process of elaboration of a decision stipulating for assessment of management of regions with the view to the formation of territorial communities and supported the proposal to provide social subvention to amalgamated territorial communities capable of effective using the resource.
