Effective responses to complex emergencies require exceptional project management skills. Being able to deliver quality outputs on time and under pressure is crucial to any humanitarian response. Even under the most extreme pressure, the quality of project management cannot slip.
This two-day competency-based course will identify the key project management skills required by humanitarian workers and equip participants with tools and techniques crucial for managing projects more successfully in emergency situations.
Focusing on the requirements of project managers in emergency situations, this two-day course looks at a range of key project management topics, including:
- understanding the project cycle in emergencies,
- essential project management tools and techniques,
- assessments and goal setting in emergencies,
- monitoring, evaluation and ensuring accountability,
- project finance management and financial frameworks,
- project negotiation techniques, and
- working with partners under pressure.
