Harald Modis

Murielle Boucher

Consultant specialist in public finance management, from budgeting to performance evaluation and accountability. Expert in internal control, risk management, monitoring methods, development of dashboards, and results-based management and budgeting.

The two basic functions of monitoring are:

following up on committed performance targets, and
triggering learning and improvement.

The first one typically dominates and is generally perceived as the enforcement of rules and agreements. It tries to blame instead of creative understanding. This webinar suggests shifting monitoring’s attitudes, focus and techniques rather to the learning and improving side. We will present our point of view and search with the participants for ways to reach an associative, supportive, and forward-looking relationship with the clients of monitoring.

Following numerous consultations carried out by the World Bank and its partners, a new procurement regulation replaces the pre-existing procurement directives. Among the many changes introduced, one in particular, raised many hopes within administrations: the notion of more advantageous bid which could end the criticized hegemony of the lowest evaluated bid. This webinar will launch a constructive debate around this concept and help procurement specialists understand its impacts.

Alain Paquet

Ph.D in Economy

Consultant specializing in Finance, Macroeconomics and Monetary Policy, Fiscal Policy and Public Debt Management.

Following the outbreak of COVID-19, we hear a lot about "flattening the curve", this applies to both the health and economic dimensions of the pandemics that cannot be considered independently. What are the macroeconomic effects of the Great Lockdown on key variables regarding business cycles, growth and development? What are the justifications for the fiscal and monetary policies being implemented and their current and future challenges ahead ? What do we know and what don’t we know about the path ahead? In this highly uncertain context, clearly no one can pretend to have all the answers. However, macroeconomics suggests some points that should not be lost to expect a better future for all.
