Local Self-Government and Rule of Law in Ukraine

The FBA has launched the project Local Self-Government and the Rule of Law in Ukraine, that aims to strengthen and integrate rule of law principles in public services at the level of local self-government.

An important part of the project is to increase awareness among citizens about their rights when claiming services, while also strengthening civil society’s capacity in ensuring accountability in public institutions at the local level. The project will complement ongoing reform processes in decentralization and local governance, and contribute to greater transparency in the public administration in Ukraine.

A fresh start for Ukraine?

When I first arrived in Kyiv six months ago, I looked out over the city from the hilltop near the office of the EU Advisory Mission for Ukraine (EUAM) where I had just started a job as Coordination and Cooperation Officer. It became immediately clear why the city came to be founded here over 1,000 years ago and why it today is the capital of Ukraine. The mighty Dnepr River splits the city in half, flowing ...
