About publication
The Communication Strategy of the Uzhhorod City Council for 2020–2023 (draft) is a comprehensive document aimed at establishing a high level of trust between local government bodies, residents, and key community stakeholders. At the core of the strategy is a transition from episodic interaction to a systematic dialogue based on the principles of transparency, openness, and accountability. The primary vector is the transformation of the city into a human-centric and comfortable space where every resident has real tools for public oversight and influence on strategic decision-making.
Who will benefit?
- Local authorities
- Activists
- Journalists
Key findings:
The strategy highlights the need to enhance the publicity of executive bodies, as their openness level of 53% remains lower than that of the deputy corps and the mayor. The strategy emphasizes the importance of overcoming the "unpredictability" of government actions through the implementation of systematic monitoring and public reporting on the use of finances. For the successful development of the community by 2030, the development of social capital and the active involvement of CSOs and the business environment as full partners in the process of implementing local policies have been identified as essential.
