Nigeria has joined efforts to strengthen public sector leadership and public financial management across Africa through a leadership development programme for senior officials involved in financial management reforms.
The initiative, implemented by the African Capacity Building Foundation with support from the Gates Foundation, is designed to strengthen the leadership capabilities of public officials and promote peer-to-peer learning among African public financial management leaders.
Nigeria and Tanzania joined the second cohort of the Leadership and Governance in Public Financial Management programme, while Ethiopia became the ninth country to participate in the third cohort.
Speaking in a recording of a webinar obtained by our correspondent on Sunday, the Executive Secretary of ACBF, Mamadou Biteye, said the initiative was designed to move beyond conventional technical training by combining self-assessment, personal development plans, individual and group coaching, peer learning, technical assistance and case-based application to real public financial management challenges.
