The article considers measures of reorganization of the economic mechanism of territorial administration in the context of decentralization of power. It is indicated that the decentralization reform is directly related to the development and optimal use of the resource potential of rural areas. It is emphasized that one of the fundamental conditions for the independence of local governments is financial decentralization, which reflects the financial powers of regional authorities. It is stated that the process of voluntary unification of territorial communities has created the preconditions for the transformation of the territorial structure and subregional level. It is emphasized that the main alternatives to agriculture today are the spheres of construction, trade, social services, etc. It is highlighted that in the Ukrainian realities there is a significant untapped potential of inclusiveness in the form of self-organizational activity of rural territorial communities and productive activity of rural business in solving local socio-economic problems. Modern decentralization changes in the country and its regions are carried out by intensifying the self-government of territorial communities, which must clearly understand their own needs and the need to achieve balanced development of settlements, be sufficiently motivated as permanent residents and interested in economic growth and social prosperity. The leading feature of the development of rural settlements at the present stage should be inclusiveness, ie active involvement in the process of ongoing reforms of all actors, each of which is important and valuable, regardless of their level of socio-economic development and available potential. It is concluded that local communities can regulate the process of accumulation of funds, provision of appropriate services, based on short- and long-term planning. It can also be argued that decentralization should be seen as a factor that directly affects the diversification of rural development.
