Training Program

Mid-level to senior officials from central banks, ministries of finance, and other government agencies tasked with the design and execution of policies in resource-rich countries (RRCs).

Participants are expected to have an advanced degree in economics or equivalent experience and be proficient in the use of Microsoft Excel. It is recommended that applicants first complete the online Macroeconomic Management in Resource-Rich Countries (MRCx) course.

This course discusses macroeconomic policy issues and challenges faced by RRCs. The course provides participants with an understanding of the macroeconomics of growth and diversification, fiscal policy management, macroeconomic policy coordination, and public-sector asset management in RRCs. The course incorporates lectures, hands-on workshops, debates, and case studies.
 

• This is a blended course that is offered in two phases, virtually and in-person. The virtual part of the course will be offered during June 23 - July 4, 2025, and the in-person part of the course will be held from July 7-18, 2025, at the Africa Training Institute, Ebène, Mauritius. During the virtual component of the course, participants will complete an online foundational module (about 4 hours of self-paced learning), supported by virtual office hours with the counselors before the in-person sessions start.
