In the last few years, Ukraine has developed and adopted various laws in favour of an ambitious decentralisation reform, which reshapes the relation between the national, regional and local level and builds institutional capacity.

It will set up a Central Reform Office (CRO) to coordinate the implementation of the reform process in close coordination with 24 Regional Reform Offices, represented in all Ukrainian Oblasts. The U-LEAD with Europe Programme will support the establishment of these institutions via its main programme office in Kyiv and four Regional Programme Offices in Lviv, Poltava, Chernivtsi and Dnipro.
