The Government has established all necessary conditions under which amalgamated hromadas became sufficient and received new opportunities and tools, stressed the Prime Minister of Ukraine Volodymyr Groysman, commenting on the progress of the decentralisation reform. The PM said that the Regional Development Councils being held these days in different regions are designed to discuss and to formulate medium-term plans for the development of regions and for the whole country.

"We have succeeded in creating the conditions under which hromadas received new tools and opportunities. We have made a leap forward, and this is just the beginning. Today decentralisation opportunities have not been fully seized. The core objective of reform is to create a new quality of people's lives - in education, medicine, security in everything that surrounds us", the Head of Government underscored.
