EDUCATION DECENTRALIZATION
GOVERNMENT OF UKRAINE HAS APPROVED NEW EDUCATION FORMULA PREPARED BY THE PROJECT Ukrainian Cabinet of Ministers approved the new formula for state subvention for general secondary education, designed and prepared by SKL International´s team of experts under the Decentralization Support Project. Since 2015, the work with the formula has been a core area of support by SKL International, carried out in close cooperation with the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Finance of Ukraine. The formula is effective from 2018 and beyond. The new formula´s importance for decentralization reform is significant. It represents a radical departure from previous versions in the way state subventions are allocated between local budgets across all of Ukraine and among the newly created municipalities. It takes into account a vast number of indicators and is based on new standards of normative class sizes, teaching plans, teacher salaries and specific territorial differences. Technically the formula is implemented in an Excel-based simulator, allowing to estimate subvention allocation for every local budget.

ONLINE PLATFORM OF BEST PRACTICES ON EDUCATION MANAGEMENT We constantly update the Platform and upload new practices. By the end of December, the Online Platform contained 33 practices on effective management of education on local level. Each good practice record contains a description of the practice, analysis of the problem it aims to resolve, approach taken and results achieved, as well as description of risks, relevant regulatory and legal acts developed by the hromadas. Since the launch of the platform it has been visited 500 000 times. Two of the best practices featured on the Online Platform – from Dunayevtska (Khmelnytska oblast) and Novoukrayins’ka (Kirovohradska oblast) hromadas, took part in this year’s Council of Europe competition of “Best Practices in Local Government”. 29 good practices were selected as finalists of the competition in three categories: (1) Transparency and accountability in local government, (2) Practices to promote development at regional and local level based on own strategies and resources, and (3) Inter-municipal co-operation. The practice of Novoukrainka hromada was awarded 2nd place in the category “Transparency and accountability in local government”. The practice of the Dunayevetska hromada – 1st place in the category “Intermunicipal co-operation”. Results of the CoE competition confirm the quality of the practices featured on the platform.

SUPPORT TO ASSOCIATION OF AMALGAMATED HROMADAS In Ukraine´s comprehensive decentralisation reform, the newly created local authorities are in a critical need to demonstrate their competence and effectiveness in order to give confidence to local communities and to central authorities that they can manage the responsibilities that decentralisation brings. To do this well, the new local governments need a strong platform where their interests and challenges can be represented and addressed. This is why the New Association of Amalagamated Hromadas was created. The Project and the Swedish Association of Local Authorities and Regions, SALAR have started a cooperation to help create strong, democratic representative body for the new hromadas in Ukraine. SALAR and SKL International have extensive experience in the areas of local selfgovernment, democracy, decentralisation and local development. The Nordic countries have extraordinary tradition of local self-governance – Sweden alone has more than 150 years of history of decentralised government, with most of its public services delivered at local level.
