Overview
The year 2014 marks fifty years since the start of the IMF’s provision of technical assistance and training to its members. This seminar provides an ideal opportunity to take stock of member countries’ capacity-building efforts, reflect on how their capacity-building needs will evolve, and discuss how the IMF and donors can best help countries respond to these evolving needs. A distinguished international panel drawn from senior country officials, the donor community, the private sector, and academia has been convened to discuss these issues. The event will conclude with Q&A between the panel and the audience.
