Abstract
Under the current conditions for the development of local finances, the issue of financial support for the development of territorial communities is especially relevant. According to domestic experience, not all hromadas are completely self-sufficient and able to fully ensure the implementation of socio-economic development tasks. In this case, it becomes necessary to search for additional sources of financial income and alternative instruments to solve issues of local importance. One of these instruments is the cooperation of territorial communities. The the article is aimed at examining the advantages and possible ways to improve the cooperation of territorial communities. Analyzing, systematizing and generalizing the legislative framework and domestic experience, the essence of the mechanism of cooperation between communities, as well as trends in its development in Ukraine, are considered. The relevance of the instrument of cooperation of territorial communities in the context of the introduction of administrative and territorial reform is characterized. The dynamics of the number of concluded agreements on cooperation between hromadas is analyzed. The main forms of implementation of cooperation between territorial communities, their signs and trends of application by local self-government bodies in practice are considered. The key areas in which interested communities cooperate most to solve common problems of socio-economic development are highlighted. The regional distribution of intermunicipal cooperation projects in Ukraine is analyzed. The main advantages of cooperation of territorial communities are characterized and ways to improve this mechanism in the conditions of modern development of local finances are proposed. Prospects for further research in this direction are the development of proposals for spreading the practice of such cooperation in all regions of Ukraine and the creation of stimuli for local self-government bodies to use this instrument to ensure the development of their communities and provide high-quality public services to local residents.
