The ACBF in partnership with the World Bank Institute has been the main sponsor of the Economic Policy Management program in Africa. The program, established in 1994 to award a Masters’ Degree in Economic Policy Management, aimed at training government officials primarily from sub-Saharan Africa. Two EPM programs were initially established at universities in Canada and France and in 1998 the programs were transferred to four Africa Partner Universities (APUs) in Ghana, Uganda, Cote d’Ivoire and Cameroon. On the 1st of August 2007 ACBF signed a grant for the financing of EPM – Eduardo MondlaneUniversity (UEM).
The overall goal of the EPM program is to improve the efficiency of the public sector in sub-Saharan African countries through the enhancement of capacity for economic policy analysis and management.
