Increased efforts are made to encourage networking among local government leaders in Ukraine, building on the exchange of ideas and practices already occurring among partner and non-partner communities. Regional and national conferences, meetings, and roundtables, as well as the monthly newsletter, Partners , promote the dissemination of best practices and transferable solutions by providing opportunities for communication and peer support. By working together in a supportive environment, local governments are better able to sustain innovative practices, as well as to identify and act upon common goals. The project provides a flexible and multifaceted approach for allowing training and information exchanges to meet the specific needs of different communities. Based on the needs and strengths of the U.S. and Ukrainian partners, each partnership chooses its own focus for its work.
Partnerships outline their goals in cooperatively developed workplans.
Dissemination of publications providing a forum for discussion of project activities and achievements, local government models and solutions, and developments in local government in Ukraine. Development of a training curriculum and case studies on local government issues, available through the RTCs and publications. Organization of regional and national conferences to promote the dissemination of best practices and transferable solutions by providing opportunities for communication and peer support among local government officials.
