Resumo

The reforms of the territorial organisation of power in Ukraine have led to the modernisation of management in communities entrusted with local economic development. Accordingly, this required changes and implementation of innovative approaches to modernising community public management. The aim of the article is to study the state of practical use of innovative approaches in the management of territorial communities in Ukraine. Methodology. The study used case studies of territorial communities implementing new approaches to managing their development and recovery in war. Secondary data from surveys of community leaders and representatives from different regions of Ukraine in 2021-2022 were used to understand the implementation of different management approaches. The results indicate that a strategic, programme and project-based approach to community governance is used for local development. At the same time, the strategic approach is used to a greater extent in developing community development strategies, while the project approach is used for war recovery strategies. Several challenges and problems in implementation characterise both approaches. These obstacles primarily include the organisation and functioning of an inclusive working group, established community development planning practices, bureaucracy, lack of strategic and project management skills in community executive bodies, and unsystematic use of these skills. As a result, the study systematised the strengths and weaknesses of the programme and project approach to community management. The key strengths include providing international methodological, organisational, and financial support to communities in implementing PPPs (Public-Private Partnerships), the development of regional development agencies (project offices), and their active participation in creating local development strategies for communities. The practical value of the study lies in the empirical examination of issues and the current state of practical application of innovative approaches in managing territorial communities in Ukraine.
