The seminar was not about reform models and theories but reform reality. Reform practitioners and implementers from Asian countries and a selection of OECD countries presented and discussed their experiences of developing and implementing these reform initiatives. The seminar promoted the exchange of experiences among governments in the region and between participating OECD and Asian countries.'
Unfortunately the links to the PP presentations appear to have problems. The zip files are not opening corretly in my computer after download.
Can any computer-savvy PFMBoarder help on this?
