The Small Countries Financial Management Programme (11 - 23 July 2010)
This programme is unique. It recognises that, currently, there is a lack of directly relevant and appropriate training specifically aimed at addressing the problems faced by small developing countries. It, therefore, has been designed to deliver benefits that are not generally available from other programmes. It will employ a number of teaching methods aimed at enabling participants to reframe existing problems and challenges in ways that allow new insights and, in the process, possible new solutions to these challenges. Participants will be asked to bring with them a current significant problem they are working on and, using insights from the programme, develop some new and hopefully more effective ways of tackling it. In that sense it goes beyond the usual ‘technical’ training approach employed by many programmes.
The programme is being provided by the Small Countries Financial Management Centre and is designed and directed by Oxford University’s Saïd Business School, in collaboration with the International Business School at the University centre in the Isle of Man. The first part of the programme will be held in the Isle of Man, with the final four days taking place in Oxford.
The programme will be delivered by leading academics in relevant disciplines from around the world. The Faculty, which will be overseen by an experienced programme director from the Saïd Business School, will include professors from Oxford University, the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University, and other major universities and business schools. It is intended that there will be guest speakers from the World Bank, IMF, and other multilateral agencies. In addition, there will be experienced practitioners and experts from financial institutions and other small countries which have best practice to share.
The two week programme will start on a Sunday evening in the Isle of Man. At the end of a full intensive week on Sunday there will be cultural and tourist outings in the Isle of Man.
On Tuesday morning of the second week, the participants will fly to the UK and travel to Oxford University. From Tuesday noon through to Friday afternoon, a customised version of the Oxford Programme on Negotiation will be taught at the Saïd Business School. During this portion of the programme held at Oxford University, there will be dinners at Oxford colleges. Participants will receive their certificates signifying successful completion of the course at the final dinner on the Friday evening.
Up to 30 participants will be selected from senior officials of ministries of finance, financial regulatory bodies, and the central banks of small countries. Attendance is free, and all travel and accommodation costs will be covered by the sponsors.
