The relevance of the article is highlighted by the need to introduce integrated social services at the local level in the context of decentralization of power and amalgamation of territorial communities. The purpose of the article is to analyze the existing approaches to the integration of social services and determine the possibilities of their application in the context of decentralization of social services at the local level in Ukraine. It is established that the implementation of an integrated approach to the provision of social services at the local level requires preliminary assessment, planning, and cooperation based on setting of the common goals and objectives, clear distribution of functions, introduction of financial and/or administrative incentives for cooperation, elimination of factors that would cause competition between service providers, and development of social service providers capacity in areas of planning, evaluation and management.References
