Abstract

The article explores the main stages and trends of reforming the local government of Ukraine and the Republic of Moldova, explores the functions and powers of local governments. In 1997, these countries ratified the European Charter of Local Self-Government, which affects the processes of reforming the local self-government system. However, decentralization in both countries is proceeding at a rather slow pace; at the same time as the new administrative entities, the previous system of administrative-territorial division of the country functions. There is a lack of political will of the countriesʼ elite to provide autonomy to local authorities.

Keywords: decentralization, local government, public administration, raion council, oblast council, administrative-territorial structure.
