More than 450 thousand residents in all cities and regions of Bashkortostan took part in the proactive allocation of funds, said the Prime Minister of the Government of the region Rustem Mardanov.
"The residents set priorities by themselves, voluntarily co-financed the selected projects and monitored the effectiveness of the entire process", he said at a meeting in the Government.
At the meeting participants noted that for over two years of the local initiatives support project, the priorities of the population had not changed. They still include road projects, improvement of parks, squares, playgrounds, water supply issues, as well as development of culture and preservation of cultural heritage.
