This primer is tailored for individuals new to macroeconomic policy analysis, including policymakers, economic analysts, and other professionals seeking to deepen their understanding of macroeconomic analysis and policy formulation. This course is not for those who have already taken either the online or in-person Financial Programming and Policies (FPP) course unless they would like a refresher.

Some knowledge of economics is helpful. Basic Microsoft Excel skills and access to a computer with a reliable Internet connection and a Google Chrome web browser are essential.

This online course, presented by the Institute for Capacity Development, is an essential primer that aims to equip you with the foundational knowledge necessary for engaging with the more advanced aspects of macroeconomic analysis and policy formulation covered in the in-depth financial programming and policies (FPP) courses. This course is carefully designed to bridge the gap for learners transitioning to the more in-depth FPP courses, ensuring a comprehensive grasp of the subject matter. It is also be useful for those who only want to learn the basics of the topic.
