I work to advance global economic development, but believe that vacuum tubes were the pinnacle of human achievement.

Looking forward to seeing everyone at the @ICGFM 2021 Virtual Training Symposium (starts Really Soon). Many stories of Covid-inspired change.

The discussion of spending reviews links nicely to a conversation that we were having at the Winter conference in DC this last December. Achieving the SDGs requires an effective feedback loop in the MTEF and budget processes. Great presentation, Marta!

This morning's conference opened with Marta Postula, Professor of Management at the University of Warswa speaking on Spending Reviews as Tools Management in the Public Sector. #ICGFM2019Miami

Really enjoyed the opportunity to moderate this presentation. Babu Ram walked us through the challenges of fiscal devolution and motivated the need for timely and effective roll-out of GFMIS to all levels of government.

[ICGFM @icgfm]
