Today one of Ukraines most important tasks is to introduce best practices in organizing the work of regional development agencies. It is these institutions that can ensure the optimal combination of the interests of the private sector with state, regional and local initiatives within a particular territory.

The examples cited in this article confirm that the established amalgamated hormadas have begun to operate in accordance with the principles that are used in the European Union: they are engaged in diversifying employment, developing infrastructure, and developing social capital through new knowledge and skills.

Despite the fact that there is no integrated and formalized EU strategy for mountainous territories, the EU legal and regulatory framework recognizes that mountainous areas require special attention and support. The reason for this is the relatively low level of accessibility and the permanent natural and demographic restrictions, which relate primarily to agriculture. The EU understands that to solve demographic, economic and environmental problems in mountainous areas, more integrated approaches and the coordination of inter-sectoral policies are needed.

Private business has long recognized the importance of branding for a company, but government institutions still rarely show their individuality. At the same time, they must fight for the respect and affection of their clients: the citizens of Ukraine. To do this it is necessary to demonstrate ones corporate identity, and professionally and purposefully form a recognizable image. This is impossible without a proper communication strategy and modern branding based on the work of professional marketers designers, and PR specialists.

Globalization has already changed our world very much, but the new changes that await us in the coming years are difficult to even imagine. Knowledge grows exponentially not only increasing in volume, but also becoming more complex by several orders of magnitude over every short period of time. This is difficult to perceive by our consciousness which is used to linear growth. Therefore, there is only one answer to the question What should we learn ourselves and teach our children? It is necessary to cultivate an ability for continuous learning. This is precisely what the activities of the Ukrainian Association for the Development of Management and Business Education are aimed at.
The Ministry of Regional Development, Construction and Housing and Communal Services of Ukraine named the winners of the Regional Development Projects Contest, which can now be realized at the expense of the state budget funds received from the EU.
