KIPPRA and MMC have developed the Kenyan Macroabc model KTMM in
co-operation in the period 2000-2003. Afterwards KIPPRA invited MMC to
give small-scale additional support during model improvement processes
and in the further training of the staff in macro-economic model
building. Nowadays the focus has shifted to the training of trainers;
MMC teaches the KIPPRA staff to train others. During the period April
25 – May 6, KIPPRA staff will therefore be able to train 32
economists from 16 African countries in the theory and practice of
working with the KTMM model.
