Background and Objective

• The Direction of Planning (DNP) of the Ministry of Finance requested Technical Assistance from ICD to develop capacity for public debt projections and analysis.
• Pre-scoping and pre-mission meetings identified that there was no single unit responsible for producing public debt projections within the MOF.
• Agreed capacity development approach:
  • Use the Debt Dynamics Tool (DDT).
  • Extensive virtual engagements.
  • Asynchronous pre-mission work.
  • A single in-person mission from October 7 to 11.

Main Findings

• Institutional gap:
  • No single unit responsible for producing public debt projections.
• Capacity development modality:
  • Combining virtual engagements, asynchronous pre-mission work, and one in-person mission was selected as the approach to build capacity across the MOF.
• Tool selection:
  • The Debt Dynamics Tool (DDT) was chosen as the technical instrument for projections and analysis.

Recommendations (as implied by the mission design)

• Establish clear institutional responsibility for public debt projections within the Ministry of Finance (DNP engagement highlights the need).
• Implement training and hands-on capacity development using the Debt Dynamics Tool (DDT) across relevant MOF staff.
• Utilize a blended delivery model for capacity development:
  • Extensive virtual engagements.
  • Asynchronous pre-mission preparatory work.
  • Focused in-person mission for practical application (scheduled October 7 to 11).
