The purpose of the online discussion is to contribute to a better understanding of macroeconomic policies in Africa, especially how they are designed and implemented; what objectives are persued and achieved; and the appropriateness of macroeconomic frameworks. The discussion should identify good practices and lessons learned and highlight gaps and challenges requiring further action.
