The recovery of Ukraine depends on empowering local self-government authorities (LSGs) to counter corruption and ensure transparent reconstruction efforts. These decentralised bodies, strengthened through reforms, play a pivotal role in managing resources and rebuilding communities. Streamlined legal frameworks, public engagement, and targeted capacity-building are essential to enhance their efficiency. Collaboration among Ukraine’s government, civil society, and international partners will help LSGs lead fair, sustainable recovery initiatives that foster trust and social cohesion.
