Drones or stadiums: what conclusions can be drawn from the paving stone scandal?
The turbulent public reaction to municipal spending of local budgets during the war has sparked a difficult but important discussion about the efficiency of spending taxpayers' money and what is the measure of such efficiency or appropriateness. In the modern history of Ukraine, citizens very rarely take an interest in exactly what these funds are spent on, and this discussion, though held in a difficult time and emotional form, is a significant step forward for Ukrainian society. What conclusions can we draw from this story? Can we identify any wrongdoers or specific mistakes? How should the budget process be structured so that every taxpayer's hryvnia brings the greatest benefit to society?
We will talk about these and other questions with the participants of the discussion on July 27 at 12:00.
Speakers:
Oleksandr Slobozhan, Executive Director of the Association of Ukrainian Cities;
Illia Neskhodovskyi, Head of the Analytical Direction at "National Interests Defense Network 'ANTS'"
Moderator: Dmytro Boyarchuk, Executive Director of CASE Ukraine
Organizer of the discussion: CASE Ukraine Center for Social and Economic Research.
