During the webinar, the following topics were discussed:

• the advantages of creating supervisory boards to increase transparency, accountability, and strategic control in public utilities;

• opportunities for attracting investment through the implementation of institutional management standards;

• practical cases from Lviv and Mykolaiv that demonstrate the effectiveness of the mechanisms implemented at the local level.
