      The 46 participants included directors of Oblast Finance Directorates and heads of Finance Directorates of oblast-significance cities from Odesa, Kherson, Mykolaiv, and Kirovohrad oblasts, and the City of Sevastopol. A workshop on the main principles of PPB was also delivered as part of the seminar.
