Introduction:

Integrated financial and performance management represents a structured institutional discipline governing how development projects are planned, funded, monitored, and evaluated within public and financial sector organizations. Its role centers on ensuring value for money, financial accountability, risk control, and alignment between project expenditure and development outcomes. This training program presents financial governance frameworks, budgeting and cash-flow models, investment oversight structures, reporting architectures, and performance evaluation systems applied to development oriented projects. It provides a general institutional perspective on how financial intelligence and performance measurement support strategic control, transparency, and sustainable project outcomes in central banking and public sector environments.
