Abstract

The article summarizes the main infrastructural challenges that have arisen before united territorial communities, in the course of decentralization reform in Ukraine. In particular, the low quality of local government staff, which reduces the chances of communities for economic efficiency; social infrastructure; transport infrastructure; land resource. In the process of decentralization reform, the concept of infrastructure is concretized in connection with the creation united territorial communities, where the infrastructure includes housing, transport, health care, culture and sports, social protection. After all, if there are «failures» in the infrastructure of the community, it will quickly lead to disruption of the stable functioning of the whole community, respectively, will negatively affect the quality of life and productivity of the community, and modernization will promote economic growth and increase welfare. Also, in the article the author describes the powers and resources that the united territorial communities received today in the conditions of decentralization, and highlights that for the united territorial communities is of primary interest to the state — it's transfers such as basic grants, educational and medical subventions and capital transfers. City budgets began to be filled much more actively. That is, having a leader interested in development, united territorial communities have good financial opportunities for development. Communities cease to be ordinary «cash registers» for the payment of salaries to state employees, they become really interested in economic growth in their territory. It was noted that for development local governments should be involved in various projects (Joint program organization of common nationalities women, U-LEAD, DESPRO, EU / PRON, DOBRE, PROMIS / PLEDOG), in projects proposed by the State Fund for Regional Development. In the current economic environment, it is important that local authorities actively attract state support and, combining them with their own resources, direct to the implementation of regional and local development strategies, implement various infrastructure projects that support innovation, new production, small and medium business.
