They will also gain understanding of how multilateral development institutions such as the World Bank and the United Nations Development Programme operate for client countries, how the client countries utilize the institutions, what an investment operation for development is, how it is designed and implemented, and what conditions are necessary to deliver intended outcomes. The participants will discuss and formulate a country development framework within a limited financial envelop in a scenario work. They will also critically review an ongoing investment operations and design monitoring and evaluation framework. During the latter half of the course, the classes will focus on the participants' career development in multilateral development institutions.
