To enhance the effective oversight and administration of projects receiving financial support from the African Development Bank (www.AfDB.org) in Madagascar, a two-day training program was conducted for government officials responsible for supervising these endeavors.
The workshop, held on 11 and 12 June 2024, in Antananarivo, brought together Malagasy project managers, including administrative and finance officers, and representatives from the Bank Group’s Public Debt Directorate.
Co-organized by the Bank's Madagascar Country Office and Disbursements Department, the workshop centered on the Bank's disbursement regulations and processes, aiming to enhance expenditure performance for Bank-funded projects.
Abdoulaye Kane, head of the Disbursements Department in the Bank’s Financial Control team, stated, “The aim of the workshop, which was to build the capacity of the management units responsible for projects funded by the Bank Group, was achieved. Understanding the procedures will improve the quality of the documentation sent to the Bank.” He added that the improved documentation quality will enable faster processing and enhance Madagascar’s capacity to absorb funding from the Bank Group.
Mandimbisoa Heriniaina, an accountant responsible for reviewing project disbursement requests in the Bank Group’s Public Debt Directorate, lauded the training approach and clarity of the answers provided. “We are committed to making good use of the training results, which should improve the quality of the documents we send to the Bank,” Heriniaina said.
