The decentralization reform put into practice four years ago, as a new system of the management of the territories, has already proven its effectiveness in terms of providing powers and financial resources to regions. However, monitoring of the use of new opportunities is virtually absent and requires implementation. This was stated by Prime Minister of Ukraine Volodymyr Groysman during communication with the delegates of the XIV Ukrainian Municipal Forum.

 "Three pillars of decentralization - powers, financial resources and control. There is a lack of control instruments now. We need to work together with the Association of Ukrainian Cities in order to develop an effective system of supervision and control ", the Head of Government stated.
