Fiscal Policy Training Program 2001

The International Study Program's annual Fiscal Policy Training Program, offered in partnership with the World Bank Institute is a comprehensive training program designed for central and local government officials and policy makers from developing and transition countries as well as their counterparts with international donor agencies. The Summer 2001 program consisted of two two-week courses: Fiscal Decentralization in Developing and Transition Economies (held from July 23 - August 3, 2001) and Budgeting, Fiscal Management and Revenue Forecasting (held from August 6-16,2001).

The summer 2001 training program included participants from countries around the world, including several donor agencies, including officials from Albania, Bahrain, Macedonia, Pakistan, the Palestinian territories and five officials from the Republic of South Africa. Nine public sector specialists from Indonesia attended the training program through a special arrangement with IRIS and USAID/Jakarta. The group further included donor agency officials from the British Department for International Development (DFID) and the Atlanta-based Carter Center.

Information and application materials for the Fiscal Policy Training Program for Summer 2002 will be posted in January 2002. For additional information regarding the program, please contact:
