The Pirnove Municipality is drawing up its own development strategy to turn into the Kyiv Oblast ecological centre. These plans call for developing green tourism, craft business ideas, and the social component. The project will be implemented as part of the U-LEAD with Europe, said Liubov Lysenko, coordinator of the working party.
So far, the municipality has identified its strengths and weaknesses, performed a SWOT analysis, and articulated a strategic vision for future development. Besides, a goal matrix has been built and local residents’ projects have been collected in the Pirnove Municipality.
Working Group Coordinator Liubov Lysenko says that the development vector of the municipality was determined through the polling and voting of the population, local businesspeople, and local government officials.
«I cannot say that we immediately realized what the municipality strengths were. There were several of them, and the most difficult task was to make the right choice. On the one hand, the municipality is located near Kyiv and has a powerful recreational potential. Therefore, we could not disregard the tourist component. We also decided to work on the environmental vector to be combined with promoting craft business ideas. The municipality decided to pay special attention to the development of social services, »
said Lysenko.
