Twenty four officials from finance ministries, central banks and regulatory bodies have begun an intensive spell of training in the Island.
It's the fifth time the Isle of Man has hosted the Small Countries Financial Management Programme in which the Island aims to use its financial expertise to bring tangible assistance to developing small countries around the world.
The Manx government-funded scheme has won wide acclaim and is now backed by the World Bank and Commonwealth Secretariat.
Executive director Tim Cullen says the course is making a real difference:
John Wannenburgh: 'Commitment, compassion and an unwavering sense of duty'
Manx Utilities 'deeply saddened' by death of chairman
"Tynwald will be a less colourful place without John" says president
Douglas North MHK pays tribute to 'amazing friend'
