The article reviewed the progress of the decentralization process and the development of territorial communities in Ukraine. The basic benefits of decentralization and main impediments to its implementation (mainly imperfect legislation, public trust, budgetary risks). Some far-fetched risks (probability of separatism, outflow due to cancelling subsidies) were considered. The potential regulation of the system - the prefects’ institute, according to the law "About prefects" was analyzed. The process of decentralization is proposed as a necessary and promising component of improving the self-sufficiency of regions.
