Meeting of the Council for Local Self-Government Development. The President's key statements:
Municipal officials must maintain constant contact with local residents, hear their requests and respond to them quickly.
It is necessary to understand the needs and requests of the families of every participant in the special military operation and provide them with tangible help.
Local residents' direct involvement in the decision-making process is important. We have many instruments for that, including voting for priority improvement projects, initiative budgeting projects and a comprehensive rural development programme.
Regional governance centres successfully operate in all Russian regions.
A strong human resource base of local governance is required to effectively meet public requests. It is important to update educational programmes and standards, and target them towards practical problem-solving, leadership building and project management skills.
