Training Programmes (COURSE STRUCTURE)

The Institute's training programmes are essentially user-driven and geared towards the enhancement of knowledge and technical skills for 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.

WAIFEM has broaden its capacity building strategy beyond short-term training. A modular approach has been adopted with flexibility for 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 with curricula and training materials developed outside the sub-region by other specialized institutions, the Institute makes every effort to customize course contents and training materials to reflect specific issue to West African countries and use data from these countries in practicals and exercises during training.
