The PFM Board partners are always looking for new applications to improve knowledge sharing among the community. The PFM Board video sessions are the first spin-off from our efforts, taking advantage of IT tools already available, in this case, the functionality of the YouTube channels.
Videos are grouped in playlists and are meant for public sector managers in developing and emerging countries, as well as PFM practitioners at large. As we live in a fast moving world, videos are less than 10 minutes long and often much shorter. Each video focuses closely on a single PFM topic or concept: it presents a specific angle on the topic - a snapshot that viewers can then explore in more depth. Links to PFM Board posts and/or web resources are provided for viewers to do their own follow-up research.
All PFM practitioners are welcome to upload their own videos for others to share (how-to guide is here and here). Choose the playlist and shoot your video. You can also create your own playlist, with multiple video uploads.
The PFM Board video sessions are still in their infancy (they were established less than one month ago) but as coverage expands they offer the potential to add a new dimension to PFM capacity building.
