Program Introduction

Sustainability is a fundamental competence of any effective project. It balances different and oftentimes conflicting interests from environmental concerns and societal challenges to financial soundness and affordability. It is particularly important that sustainability underlies every step in the project lifecycle. Sustainability analysis shall be integrated into project design to determine its relevancy, viability, and adaptability. As the project nears its end, the exit strategy must be developed with sustainability in mind to ensure the desired impact and justify the effectiveness of the investment.

Although project sustainability management has been gaining ground for nearly every type of organization, it remains a challenge from the perspective of facilitation and implementation. One of the key reasons why this happens is the lack of skilled and capable project professionals that can plan and execute adaptable, scalable, and extensive projects. This training program addresses the stated gap in the knowledge and skills covering core thematic areas of project sustainability and impact evaluation. It also works on targeted competencies and skills to help transition passive knowledge into successful practical applications in real-life projects.
