Training Program

The course is designed for senior level public officials working in the Ministries of Finance or Economy in charge of the government budget and/or of public investments and other staff from line ministries and public corporations responsible for key public infrastructure (i.e., transportation, energy) who oversee the preparation and implementation of capital projects.

The participants in this event should be familiar with processes for budgeting and oversight of public investment projects in their countries, including:

• Public investment strategic planning,
• Project appraisal and selection,
• Medium-term and annual budgeting for public investment,
• Implementation of oversight of infrastructure projects.

To achieve the objectives, the course will consider the three phases of the project cycle identified in the IMF’s Public Investment Management Assessment (PIMA) framework. For planning, the course will review the key information that should be gathered during the project appraisal process. For resource allocation, the course will showcase the medium-term budget implications of project selection on both capital and current spending. For project implementation, the course will review how financial monitoring should feed into the planning and resource allocation processes.
