"The decision to join the Debt Management Practitioners’ Program (DMPP) program proved to be one of the best decisions I have made for my career progression. Prior to coming to Washington, D.C., I set my goal to build an expertise in working with the MTDS tool. After completing the program, I became fully equipped to prepare, implement and review the debt management strategy in my home country (Tonga).”

Debt Managers Workshops

Targeted, two-day workshops bringing together debt managers from a select group of countries to focus on one specific topical debt management issue and share their experiences. Under World Bank facilitation, the country representatives discuss their current challenges and methodologies about the topic and produce a knowledge sharing document to summarize the learnings.

Innovative Programs

The DMF leads innovation to expand outreach beyond Ministries of Finance and Central Banks to include key stakeholders with a role in debt management: parliamentarians and auditors. As parliaments play formal roles in approving and overseeing management of public debt, the Parliamentarians Outreach pilot program allows to directly support debt management capacity building for Parliamentarians through workshop and peer-to-peer events.
