Проєктна діяльність як інструмент розвитку об’єднаної територіальної громади

Abstract

The necessity of resolving contradictions between private and public interests, personal and managerial approaches, public and national vision, and finding modern mechanisms for solving problems of local community development has been established. One of these mechanisms was the project activity of territorial communities, one of the most widespread worldwide. Such project activity increases the efficiency and effectiveness of the local community, improves the quality of public life, and strengthens its competitiveness due to its purposefulness, focus on timeliness and quality of results, and the possibility of obtaining financial resources from various sources. It has been proven that the project activity of territorial communities is an effective mechanism for their development. It is substantiated that the application of project management in the activities of territorial communities is one of the modern tools for ensuring sustainability and competitiveness. The main arguments regarding the expediency of applying the concept of project management for developing and implementing programs and projects in the field of public administration and local development are presented. Several factors that determine the need to use and the effectiveness of project management in the activities of territorial communities are considered. In a strategic plan, the project approach makes it possible to concentrate the efforts of state authorities on solving urgent problems of the future development of society in its key directions, reducing tension in the socio-political sphere by increasing the efficiency of the activities of state authorities, to establish a sustainable partnership dialogue with communities and institutions of civil society strengthening their legitimacy and resistance to internal and external threats. Keywords: project, project management, project activity, effectiveness of project activity, united territorial community, level of community readiness for project activity, strategic development of territories.
