Accordingly, the formation of the capacity of territorial communities will occur with the formation of public institutions of these communities. The main tools of influence of civil society organizations on public policy and standardized, established formats and mechanisms of interaction of civil society organizations with state authorities at the central and local levels are analyzed. Particular attention is paid to the participation of public organizations in the implementation of direct democracy tools at the local level, which is gaining further relevance in accordance with the processes of decentralization in Ukraine. It is determined that the legitimation of the head confirms the authority and justifies the adoption of managerial decisions.
