The Joint UNDP/EU Project “Community Based Approach to Local Development” (CBA) is a long-term and comprehensive capacity building initiative to promote sustainable local development in Ukraine.

The CBA has a specific focus on rehabilitation of social and communal infrastructure in the priority areas of health, environment, and water management, improved management of housing sector, energy efficiency and local economic development. Specific objective of this action is to:

  2. To enhance energy efficiency at local level by: building capacity of local communities and local authorities in energy planning and efficient energy use; supporting innovative community initiatives in efficient energy use; raising public awareness on energy efficiency based on grassroots level best practices
  3. To support the creation of the locally owned and managed repository and network of good practices and knowledge on community mobilization and participatory governance by: documenting and codifying lessons learnt and institutional arrangements established during the CBA implementation; advocating for necessary policy changes towards decentralization and local democracy; establishing a network of knowledge hubs for the creation, analysis, and sharing of innovative approaches to community based development; supporting academia and other educational institutions in curriculum and capacity development for promoting community based approaches to local governance and development

The technical assistance project “Support to Ukraine’s Regional Development Policy” (SURDP)” has started its activity in January 2013 and ended on February 2017.

  • an overall independent assessment about the relevance of the action;
  • key lessons learned and recommendations on the management of ongoing actions in the area of regional/local development (in particular U-LEAD);
