After the Revolution of Dignity (2013-2014) in Ukraine, the new government declared an extensive decentralization program as a part of far-reaching economic reforms to be implemented. These efforts are supposed to be supported by reassigning of public functions, shifting down some public revenues, and increasing the local autonomy concerning revenue management. The paper shows the main obstacles on the way to decentralization, to what extent these decentralization plans have been realized within the actual governmental policy in 2014-2015, and how these decentralization efforts would contribute to increasing efficiency in public administration
