COURSE DESCRIPTION 
Over the past decade, project management has taken a central role in civil society work and can be considered today as a tool for social change, a cornerstone to community development and to build and/or strengthen civil society organisations. As a consequence, the development and management of projects has become a necessary skill for civil society organisations and project managers. The program is designed to equip participants with skills for better management of community based development programmes. This course will further provide the participants with a concrete ‘step-by-step’ approach including hints and guidelines for developing and implementing a successful project from a gender based perspective in order to achieve the Millennium Development Goals, MDGs. It will further empower the participants to become better able to assess needs, articulate a plan, mobilize resources and render accounts, as well as effective evaluation of their organisation projects.
