Development Finance International

DFI in collaboration with its HIPC CBP partners has developed a self-evaluation process that it provides for the following:

• Low and middle income government leadership in identifying and prioritising national capacity needs in debt strategy analysis and public finance management
• Evaluation of a country’s capacity building process over time, across countries and in relation to a set of best international practices
• Assessment of the impact of CBP activities on the debt strategy analysis and public finance management capacity, rather than of throughput
• Methodology which is simple, transparent and objective, thereby enabling systematic evaluation of capacity, identification of gaps and causes, and pointing to actions needed to improve capacity.

To date the CBP self-assessment has been used by 36 countries and it is available in four languages: English, French, Spanish and Portuguese.
