Planning, Programming and Monitoring Projects (5 days)


How to plan a project, program its activities and design and design
and implement its follow-up system

Course overview If you fail to plan… plan to fail!


This interactive course focuses on the planning of projects, the programming of activities
and the monitoring.
Participants are first introduced to the Results-Based Management (RBM) concept and its
application in project management. RBM focuses on the performance and achievement of
objectives and is the dominant management strategy in use.
Then, participants are working through the project planning and activities programming
steps. The main tool used is the logical framework. It provides a structured model for
identifying expected results as well as the activities and inputs needed to accomplish
them. The course also provides additional techniques and tools to identify stakeholders,
analyze problems, define objectives in line with population’s needs and program human,
financial and logistic resources in an efficient way.
Finally, participants discuss how to design and implement a proper monitoring.
