The law, which encourages communities to unite, is signed

On March 3, 2015, the President of Ukraine signed the law "On Voluntary Unification of Territorial Communities" 

The law creates legal basis and mechanisms for unification of territorial communities of villages, urban-type settlements, and cities. Their key tasks will include improvement of public needs fulfillment process, efficient provision of high-quality administrative and social services to the public, sustainable development of respective territories, more efficient usage of budget funds and other resources.

According to the director of Civil Society Institute, Anatoly Tkachuk, this Law allows us to start the process of reformation of administrative and territorial organization and local self-governance in Ukraine.
