The Debt Management Facility (DMF) Training Calendar for Fiscal Year 2026 presents a comprehensive schedule of capacity-building events spanning July 2025 through June 2026. The calendar covers a broad spectrum of debt management themes, organized around four core training objectives: Debt Management Performance Assessment (DeMPA), Enhancing Strategy and Policy, Developing Debt Markets, and Boosting Debt Transparency. Delivered in partnership with key international institutions, including the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund (IMF), MEFMI, WAIFEM, UNCTAD, JICA, and the African Development Bank, the training program encompasses regional workshops, bilateral engagements, and joint seminars held across Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, and Europe. Key focus areas include Medium-Term Debt Strategy (MTDS) design, Annual Borrowing Plans (ABP), cash management, domestic debt market development, debt sustainability analysis under the Low-Income Country Debt Sustainability Framework (LIC DSF), debt reporting and monitoring, and fiscal risk management. The calendar reflects the DMF's commitment to strengthening the debt management capacity of developing and low-income countries through coordinated, multi-partner technical assistance and training, with the goal of promoting sound public debt management practices and improved debt transparency globally.
