The Debt Management & Financial Analysis system (DMFAS) is software that can be used for recording, monitoring and analysing purposes. It can be used to manage both external & domestic public debt (loans& securities) whether it’s short, medium or long term debt. It can also be used for private debt, grants and on-lent loans.
DMFAS 5.3 training is intended to build capacity of public debt managers in the Ministry of Finance and /or Central Bank so as to produce accurate, up-to-date debt data for reporting and analysis purposes. The trained debt managers would be able to use DMFAS software to develop a debt database containing detailed and aggregated data on loan contracts, bonds & grants, real operations (disbursements & debt service) as well as future operations.
This training is a complete package with contextual material, tutorials, tools to be used and related material. The training is majorly on the use of the software.
The output of the training will be highly trained DMFAS users. The outcome of this set of activities will be an accurate, up-to-date debt database.
It is recommended that this training be held for 3 weeks and should be carried out by 2-3 presenters/facilitators. These should not only be general debt management experts or DMFAS trainers. In addition, they should be conversant with the issues relating to debt statistics and abreast of the latest issues in this area. Local support presenters/ facilitators are useful but in some cases difficult to find, as these may not have the necessary background and/or experience. There will be local presentations from participants, however. These will vary, depending on the countries and institutions involved.
The target group for the training is primarily new & existing DMFAS users. This training takes into consideration the experienced users who require a deeper understating of DMFAS. This training is highly recommended for first time users of the system.
