Azerbaijan Government Interested in Norwegian Experience
The USAID-supported Public Investment Policy Project, in close collaboration with the Norwegian Embassy in Baku and the World Learning Institute (WLI), brought a delegation of senior officials from the Government of Azerbaijan to Norway to demonstrate the successes that country has achieved as a result of efficient, sound economic management.
The Azerbaijani delegation, who together have responsibility for macroeconomic, fiscal and monetary policy, finance, oil fund management as well as public investment policy and programming, participated in a series of meetings and fruitful discussions at Norway’s Ministry of Finance, National Bank, Oil Fund, Ministry of Transport, and the Ministry of Oil and Energy, and Statistics. The Azerbaijani officials acknowledged that Norway’s experience was instructive and could help Azerbaijan more effectively and efficiently develop and implement its Public Investment Policy Program.
USAID’s Public Investment Policy Project works to help the Government of Azerbaijan in making the most efficient use of its financial resources by providing technical recommendations and implementation assistance to strengthen the linkages among Azerbaijan’s national development objectives, municipal development goals, and available public resources.
