Local governments often turn their face to different financial resources other than their own resources to implement their projects. Funding in the form of “grants” or “loans” is one of the resources that municipalities frequently apply. In this session, representatives from different types of institutions that financially support the work of local governments will come together and inform the audience about the support mechanisms their institutions provide.
