The WHY in Development Project Planning Workshop
While we plan a relief and development project, we focus on what we want to achieve and how to achieve that (mostly). This is good and necessary. However, it is the “Why” we do something that determines the end result. The right approach will ensure that each project is contributing to the organization mission.
We come up with this course to address the “research-based” needs of development workers and managers to further help their project planning skills. This comprehensive five-day training workshop will ensure the participants gain a change in their performance and not only some useful information
