Welcome to GIZ's Public Finance Network
Dear Visitor,
We have established the Public Finance Network (PFN) to enhance knowledge exchange between public finance experts that have a relationship with GIZ. Members of the PFN can be former participants of GIZ organized or funded trainings, former and current partners, colleagues from academia and think tanks as well as recent and present GIZ staff. Together we want to establish a network that allows us to share information, knowledge and experiences regularly. On our website we will frequently provide you with the latest news from the public finance sector, we will keep you updated about upcoming events and inform you about job vacancies within GIZ.
Further, we have initiated a public finance community, hosted by Alumniportal Deutschland. We highly recommend becoming a member of the PFN community. The community is a platform that enables us to discuss issues from our everyday working life, upcoming topics, trends and to share insights from our work as change agents.
We are looking forward to welcoming you in our public finance community!

Accountability
Strengthening external financial control, in particular supreme audit institutions, encourages public authorities to act in line with the rule of law and fosters a system of checks and balances. At the same time it boosts the pro-development capabilities of the government and thus the confidence of citizens in the state. >>
