Humanitarian Project Management

Humanitarian Project Management

This training program provides a practical framework designed to empower staff working in local organizations to effectively manage humanitarian projects - from needs assessment and proposal design to implementation, monitoring and evaluation, and ensuring accountability to both beneficiaries and donors. The program is based on the Project Cycle Management (PCM) principles, which are widely used in development and humanitarian work. It places special emphasis on the realities faced by local organizations, where resources are often limited and challenges are numerous - requiring practical tools and context-appropriate approaches for implementation.
