The amalgamated hromadas of the Odesa Oblast are currently the locomotives for creating development institutions and already have a positive experience in participating in various projects, announced Viktor Bondaruk, regional development adviser of the Odesa Local Government Development Centre, established with the support of the U-LEAD with Europe Programme and MinRegion of Ukraine, at the conference held on 16 March at the Congress of Project Initiatives in Odesa.

In addition, due to decentralisation, serious tools for participating in large-scale projects, including cross-border ones, appeared on the ground, as discussed during the Congress.
