View Tabular Format of the 2009 Training Programme Training / Capacity Building Programmes The Institute's training programmes are essentially user-driven and geared towards the enhancement of knowledge and technical skills for Debt Management, Macroeconomic and Financial policy analysis and management among the core staff of the user institutions. Demand driven programmes of contemporary and specific relevance are also organized by the Institute at the request of user institutions. The Institute uses a modular approach with flexibility to follow-up programmes. This minimizes loss of executive time while providing opportunities for the upgrading of knowledge and skills. While some of the courses and workshops of WAIFEM are generic in nature, every effort is made to customize the contents and training materials to reflect the specific needs of West African countries, using data from these countries in practicals and exercises during training and capacity building sessions.
