I assisted the “Direction de la Conjoncture et de la Prévision Economique” to implement a two-year training and capacity building program designed to strengthen macro policy analysis and management capacity within the ministry of economy and finance.

A team of local experts has been trained throughout the project to continue improving and exploiting the instruments. 1989-1991 World Bank, Washington DC: Macroeconomist/Consultant for macro-modeling of the Social Dimension of Adjustment (SDA), World Bank, Washington, DC. I was in charge of developing a modeling strategy for incorporating social dimensions in macroeconomic policy analysis and planning. In that capacity, I designed an empirical framework for policy planning integrating social dimensions (the "Macro-Meso-Micro"), and an extended version of the World Bank RMSM model in order to produce a number of social indicators of development. Versions of the extended RMSM (RMSM-S) have been implemented respectively for TOGO (RMSMS.TOG) and TANZANIA (RMSMS.TAN). 1985-1986 USAID, Egypt: Macroeconomist/Consultant for USAID-supported macro-modeling project for Egypt.
