Program Overview

The approach of project cycle management (PCM) enables the project managers to support multiple programs at a time and improve their quality through incorporating knowledge share and continuous learning. PCM provides the set of tools for defining the tasks and functions to be performed throughout the course of the project. Delivering the intended outcomes without cost overruns and delays proves to be very challenging as the factual implementation of the program is quite complex requiring the mastery of project management techniques and possession of outstanding leadership skills.

This training course provides an all-inclusive coverage of the project cycle, starting from conceptualization and planning all the way to the implementation, supervision and evaluation. The program aims to equip its participants with the extensive knowledge of Results-Based Management and the use of Project Cycle Management as a project structuring tool, allowing the managers to experience enhanced control over project operations and better manage their quality.
