Mechanisms to Manage the Regional Socio-Economic Development and Efficiency of the Decentralization Processes

Abstract

The process of administrative and territorial reform in Ukraine urges most of the population to think about their future because the finalization of the reform stipulates that local governments are independent, and residents are responsible for their territories. To finish the process of administrative reform, it is necessary to efficiently use resources to achieve the ultimate decentralization objective. The paper aims to evaluate the efficiency of decentralization as an essential tool for the socio-economic development of regions. The efficiency of the reform implementation inUkrainian regions is suggested to be evaluated across the organizational-dministrative and budgetary components. The parameters of analysis of the reform implementation efficiency in the regions across the suggested components are systematized. The absence of a consistent relationship between the organizational-administrative and budgetary components is confirmed.
