DRI coordinated for the World Bank Debt Management Facility (DMF) a regional MTDS training workshop in Dakar, Senegal, facilitated by World Bank and DRI consultants. The 25 participants from 11 Francophone countries and institutions were asked to prepare their databases before the event according to specific data requirements. They were then able to finalise their own country databases, ready for the introduction to the toolkit developed to assist governments to develop an MTDS. The training also familiarised them with the analytical tool through a series of exercises enabling them to quantify and measure the performance of alternative debt management strategies under different shock scenarios.
