The country-teams participating in the 2023 edition of the Building Public Finance Capabilities in Africa programme are busy preparing for the mid-term progress review workshop scheduled at the end of August.

We speak to Ekpeyong Bassey Albert of the Budget Office of the Federation of Nigeria. He shares his appreciation of the Problem Driven Iterative Adaptation (PDIA) approach which is at the core of the BPFC programme and how it is different to other approaches/ concepts to reforms that he has experienced up until now.
