description This article presents applied-theoretical research, based on a quantitative and qualitative methodology, regarding the institutional transformations produced at the level of a representative sample of local public authorities in Romania, in the context of the armed conflict in Ukraine. Furthermore, this paper highlights the difficulties of meeting the functional requirements (human resources, logistics, etc.) for the proper provision of public services. It proposes a set of recommendations for increasing the administrative capacity of local public authorities in crisis situations in order to ensure their organisational resilience and the sustainability of responses offered to the communities they represent. The article is based on the assumption that the war in Ukraine had a significant impact on the current activities of local public institutions, local budgets, investments, and public procurement procedures. It aims to identify the transformations that occurred at the level of local public institutions in the past year, as well as the nature and size of the impact.
