On 21 and 23 April 2020, in the context of the Council of Europe Programme on “Decentralisation and Local Government Reform in Ukraine”, the Centre of Expertise for Good Governance in co-operation with the Chernihiv Regional Training Centre delivered the Special Online Short-Term Training Programme "Human Resources Management in Local Authorities in Crisis Conditions" for amalgamated territorial communities of the Chernihiv oblast.

The training focused on a range of issues related to regulation of labour relations for local officials, employees of local councils, municipal enterprises, local institutions and organisations during the confinement measures in Ukraine. Possible tools for organising remote activity of local staff and remote meetings of local councils and their executive bodies were also considered.

The Training Programme was developed at the request of the National Agency of Civil Service. Participants also used materials form the 2nd Human Resources Digest, specifically dedicated to changes in labour relations due to the confinement measures.
