The gradually democratization of all spheres of life in Ukraine requires the change of the understanding of the notion “community”. It is not а bunch of people who belong to certain territory; it is an organized community of active citizens who are delegated by law to control the actions of local government which concern the life of the people of the community. On the contrary а great number of people have no idea about their right for quality control and this is what gives the way for violations and breaking rules by the officials. Among us there are а lot of people who are willingly express their points of view and have а great wish to implement them in to life.  But the mechanisms to do it are not familiar to them. That is why the association provides training experiences on the communication  with state power bodies, search for additional resources and possibilities for community participation in the decision making process. In addition, the association assists both financially and organizationally the local initiatives of communities.
