1.1Introduction

1.1.1This, Knowledge Management, section of the African Development Bank Group’s Guidelines for Financial Management and Financial Analysis of Projects is intended to provide Financial Analysts and other readers with background information supporting the positions presented in the Guidelines. In addition, this section provides references to pronouncements, websites and learning materials that, is hoped, will form a collection of learning tools and knowledge enhancement for users of the Guidelines. It is anticipated that this part of these guidelines will be updated, on an ongoing basis, with new and emerging best practices.

1.1.2These Guidelines are available on the web and in a CD-ROM. This hardcopy version omits a significant portion of the information available in this Chapter of the CD-ROM version. Importantly, new and emerging best practices in financial management and financial analysis of projects will first be updated in the web-based version. Users are, therefore, advised to consult regularly, the web-based version of these Guidelines to keep abreast of current updates.
