Managing Projects and People in Emergencies

Overview

The course seeks to introduce participants 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.

Participants will learn about project planning and activities programming steps. The main tool used in this is the logical framework, which 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.

 

Training methodology

The course will combine theoretical and practical approaches to learning. The participants will be presented with RBM concept and how it fits in the context of emergencies.  Active participation in discussions and group work will be strongly encouraged; participants will be asked to bring to the workshop their own sets of data on a case study in order to translate theoretical knowledge they will acquire during the course into a real-life situation.

 

Who should attend?

Current and potential project managers and project coordinators.
