2. You can also go to the PFM Board Video Sessions at http://www.youtube.com/user/napodano?feature=mhee#p/p where you find short videos on the matter.

Enjoy it and feel free to post more questions after reading.

If you want to go back to the early roots of the MTEF, at least as far as the international donor community is concerned, it's worth looking at the World Bank's 1998 Public Expenditure Management Handbook (attached). Look at pages 48-55 for a 'bare-bones' description.

Malcolm Holmes had a big role in preparing the handbook, developing the MTEF concept from Australian experience. I also attach a short presentation by him.

Napodano's training material then goes on to explain in more detail what this all means in practice.
