STRATEGIC MODEL OF FINANCIAL SUPPORT FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT OF TERRITORIAL COMMUNITIES IN THE CONDITIONS OF POST-WAR TRANSFORMATION
Abstract. This article examines the theoretical, methodological, and practical aspects of developing a strategic model for financing the sustainable development of territorial communities in the context of Ukraine’s post-war transformation. The relevance of the study is driven by the need to restore the socio-economic potential of war-affected areas, as well as to ensure the financial stability of local governments under significant structural economic changes, demographic losses, migration processes, and limited budget resources. It is substantiated that effective financial sup-port is a key prerequisite for implementing post-war recovery policies, improving the quality of life, and achieving long-term sustainable development goals in territorial communities. The study analyzes the current state and specific features of financial support for community development and identifies key challenges in forming their financial base during post-war transformation. It explores the role of local budget revenues, intergovernmental transfers, international financial assistance, grant prog-rams, investment resources, public-private partnerships, and innovative financial tools in supporting territorial recovery and development. Special attention is paid to improving the system of fiscal equalization, introdu-cing targeted development grants, and compensatory mechanisms for communities that have suffered the greatest destruction, host large num-bers of internally displaced persons, or have low fiscal capacity. A strategic model of financial support for sustainable community development is proposed, based on the integration of three interconnected components: sources of financing, tools of strategic financial management, and development outcomes. The effectiveness of this model depends on the quality of financial planning, institutional capacity of local authorities, diversifi-cation of financial resources, and the use of modern financial risk management tools. The study identifies key directions for strengthening the financial capacity of territorial communities in the post-war period, inclu-ding local economic development, revenue base expansion, investment activation, attracting international resources, and digitalization of finan-cial management.
