The West African Institute for Financial and Economic Management (WAIFEM) is a collaborative sub-regional capacity building organization established in July 1996 by the central banks of five Anglophone West African countries. The mission of the Institute is to develop, on a sustainable regional basis, human and institutional expertise in the field of macroeconomic, fiscal, debt and financial management for central banks, ministries of finance and economic planning, and other public sector institutions with macroeconomic management responsibilities.
The overall objective of WAIFEM is to strengthen capacity for debt, financial and economic management in the relevant institutions in Anglophone West African countries, with particular attention to Liberia and Sierra Leone as post conflict countries.
