    Introduction:

    The ACBF in partnership with the World Bank Institute has been the main sponsor of the Economic Policy Management program in Africa.  The program, established in 1994 to award a Masters’ Degree in Economic Policy Management, aimed at training government officials primarily from sub-Saharan Africa.  Two EPM programs were initially established at universities in Canada and France and in 1998 the programs were transferred to four Africa Partner Universities (APUs) in Ghana, Uganda, Cote d’Ivoire and Cameroon.  On the 1st of August 2007 ACBF signed a grant for the financing of EPM – Eduardo MondlaneUniversity (UEM).

     

    Project Description:

    The overall goal of the EPM program is to improve the efficiency of the public sector in sub-Saharan African countries through the enhancement of capacity for economic policy analysis and management.

The recognition of ACBF as the African Union’s Specialized Agency for Capacity Development launches the beginning of a new era for capacity building by ACBF, which will require an appropriate level of political commitment and financial support from all stakeholders.

The remarkable achievements ACBF has registered over the past 26 years is not by accident in our opinion. They have come through hard work, dedication, commitment, purposeful leadership, support from the member countries as well as productive partnership building.

Africa needs ACBF as much, probably more now, than at the time it was created in 1991.

Ghana’s partnership with ACBF is a tremendous blessing for us and therefore the opportunity for Ghana to host the 26th ACBF Board of Governors Meeting is something that we treasure.
