Project DPro
Project D Pro Level 1
Do we need a Standard and Certification for NGO / Social development Projects?
Organisations in the international development sector see improvements in project management practice as a top priority. It is crucial to embed a common approach to project management so that the fundamental and complex challenges faced by frontline leaders and managers of development projects can be consistently and effectively addressed.
The programme provides a thorough grounding in project management concepts, processes and practice. It considers how projects can be consistently organised and managed, effectively and efficiently delivered, completed on time and to agreed budget, scope and quality.
