"We clearly see how many and which projects exactly will be implemented in the communities this year. That is a concrete prospective map of regional infrastructure. We see that, for the account of such decentralisation tool as the State Fund for Regional Development, 294 educational facilities, 148 health care and social security institutions will be developed or modernised, and 77 projects for the reconstruction of traffic and transport infrastructure will be implemented in the regions. In addition, there will be implemented 84 sports projects comprising more than 10% of the total amount of financing by the State Fund for Regional Development. It is for the first time that we have such indicator of the sports infrastructure development. That is another wave of qualitative changes in the life of communities and Ukrainians, which changes materialise in the form of real objects because of decentralisation", Hennadii Zubko noted.

It is a reminder that the total amount of financing by the State Fund for Regional Development for 2017 is UAH 3.5 billion.
