Effective Public Financial Management

There is an opportunity for international virtual training format, please contact Christopher Ng for more information.


Since the 1990s, there has been a surge of interest among international agencies in the way public sector budgets are set, managed, and reported on. This reflects not only an increased demand for transparency but also recognition that effective public financial management (PFM) is pivotal to economic and developmental success.

This five-day programme provides a thorough insight into public finance management (PFM) for those who are involved in policy work, sector programmes, or those who have management responsibilities in government ministries, departments and agencies. It has been designed specifically with the developing country context in mind.
