Beginning with the foundations of open-economy macroeconomic analysis and practical techniques of policy management, the Program on

- Improve your ability to design and critique macroeconomic policy
- Apply practical analytical tools to create solutions for commonly encountered macroeconomic policy problems
- Negotiate successfully with international development agencies as well as other branches of your government

“I was very impressed with the valuable information I learned on poverty reduction and alleviation strategies, which is quite relevant to my job in Jordan as Secretary General for the Commission on Macroeconomics and Health. The ability to share experiences and knowledge with other attendees was priceless.”
