Resume

The presented article analyzes the problematic issues related to the formation of the strategic development documents of the newly formed (amalgamated) territorial communities in Ukraine. It is noted that in the context of decentralization each community needs to have a quality program and target documents (the Strategy and the Plan (Strategic plan) for further socio-economic growth. The authors prove that the processes of identifying issues and strategic vision of development, its main priorities and objectives, possible ways of their implementation and the necessary resources are quite difficult for members of the communities, as they do not have appropriate professional knowledge and practical experience. A clear methodological framework is emphasized for the effective organization of strategizing in addition to special knowledge of the participants. To accomplish the study objectives, the current methodological content that details the organization and implementation of strategic planning processes in communities is analyzed. In this way the authors analyze the normative-legal acts, approved by the Ministry of Regional Development, Construction and Housing and Communal Services of Ukraine, as well as handbooks and methodics, prepared by experts of international and national public institutions. An overview of positive features of the relevant documents and their weaknesses are outlined. The problem situations that can occur in the territorial communities due to errors in strategic planning processes organization are emphasized. For solving the complex problems associated with the imperfection of methodical content in the field, the authors propose the ‘Guidelines for the elaboration of Strategy and the Strategic Development Plan for the newly formed (amalgamated) territorial communities in conjunction with the development strategy of the region. These are full methodological tools that enable the development of a quality strategy and strategic development plan. Guidelines are consistent with the current regulatory framework and comprehensively complement the existing methodological content of the regional development by Ministry, containing a description of the step-by-step strategic planning process, given the characteristics of participation and communication between entities, detailed relationships of the major planning documents in development with internal and external regulatory legal acts of the highest level, etc. Correlation of the main provisions of the advanced methodological content with the current regulatory legal acts in the sphere of strategic planning in the context of the sections and stages was built.
