Selection Process:
Participation in courses is by application sponsored by the applicant’s supervisor or Director of Training. If a course is by invitation candidates are nominated by government agencies at the request of the IMF department responsible for the course.
Self-Financed Policy:
Candidates from international agencies and advanced regional countries who apply to attend IMF training events, if accepted, will be considered self-financed. Local staff in IMF Resident Representative offices selected to train at regional training centers and programs would also be self-financed. However, they are eligible to attend training at HQ as regular participants. Attending as self-financed provides the same access to course content and activities, but all associated costs (accommodation, travel, and per diem) need to be covered by the sponsoring institution.
