Dr Kafoutchoni’s reading

The key word here is « priority »: early-career women are ranked ahead of other applicants, but the small cohort still makes selection tight. The real application should not describe a general interest in economics policy; it should show a concrete use of public finance in the current or intended role. The certificate is not automatic either: it depends on attending all three days and completing the final verification. Submit a tightly focused motivation statement and a two-page CV, then file the form before December 5, 2026.
