Ms. Ivanova focused on the most important aim of the municipal strategies for social services development, i.e. establishment of local social policies that consider the specifics of local communities and comply with needs of people. Opening new social services in the smaller locations is a great challenge for the municipal administration and it requires new approaches for uniting resources of local community and active partnership between the municipality, Social Assistance Directorate and NGOs within the social sector. In this regard, the effectiveness of the local Public Councils for Social Assistance was discussed and it was pointed out that those councils may be a drive for local level reform. Board range of other matters was covered in the discussion, inclusion lack of social specialists in the smaller locations, uncertainty regarding opening new services, ensuring sustainability of services funded by operative programs, different practical cases, and etc.
