22 December 2016
   On 21 December, the USAID Municipal Finance Strengthening Initiative (MFSI-II) Roll-out Project took part in a press café for journalists and regional communication consultants of the Association of Ukrainian Cities.
   The participants have discussed the opportunities, which the local communities could obtain from international projects for implementation of the decentralization reform. The Project Director Vyacheslav Zubenko stressed that support to local economic development was one of the most important activities of the MFSI-II Project. He emphasized the importance of the Performance Program Budgeting method of budget planning, which the Project was working on, in the context of adoption of the country’s 2017 budget.
   The event was organized by the Association of Ukrainian Cities under USAID’s PULSE (Policy for Ukraine Local Self Governance) Project.
