The associations of local self-government and international technical assistance projects and programmes within the framework of the Donor Board under MinRegion proposed to legislatively introduce criteria for allocating additional subsidies among local budgets for the maintenance of educational and healthcare facilities. They have prepared an appropriate draft law amendments.

The need for legislative changes arose due to an imperfect mechanism for the effective allocation of additional subsidies.

• no more than 20% — to the regional budget;
• no less than 80% — among local budgets of the oblast.
