Published purpose

CIDA’s support to the Africa Regional Technical Assistance Centers (AFRITACs) facilitates economic growth in Africa by strengthening the ability of national and regional public institutions to manage public finances. The AFRITACs respond to requests from the governments of 44 African countries for macroeconomic technical assistance and training in areas such as central banking, monetary and exchange rate policy, tax policy and administration, and financial statistics. Assistance is delivered through diagnostic and technical missions, regional workshops, and policy and program development support. The AFRITACs are an initiative of the International Monetary Fund, implemented in close collaboration with the African Development Bank and donor countries.
