Third Day of Financial Local Government Workshop in Batum, Indonesia

Third Day, the conference workshop started at 9.00 am at Novotel Hotel in Batum which located the opposite site of my previous hotel, the Pacific Hotel. 

Chaos with moving big bags and belonging stuffs from hotel to hotel while it's a heavy rain through the day.  Under the hotel's roof we didn't realised how heavy the rain falling on earth until the evening television news announced that there were several places in Singapore facing with flood. 

The morning session was about experts from every countries informed financial issues in local government including policy recommendations.  Discussion exercised at the end of the sessions.  Bob from Sydney was the moderator on this session.  He had worked on the Australian and New Zealand financial Local Government paper in Gold I and II.  Additionally, he was going to bring about mutual proposal of financial recommendation from the workshop to propose the UCLG in order to be published for the next meeting in Mexico, and then will propose to the world political organization which can give influcentially advice back to each country's members.  

After lunch, we went back into the workshop room.  This session the participants were separated into four groups to discuss the assigned particular issues related to the morning session.  My group composed with Phillipines, Malasia, and Indonesia.  After a long discussion amongst us we had made the conclusion for the issue of local autonomy, local personnel training, the tax rate improvement, and financial institution to facilitate for local credit.
I was voted to present our group's conclusion.  And I did it quite smoot on that.
