2.0 PURPOSE
Solidaridad
intends to design and conduct Project Management training to equip the
project staff with the skills needed for today’s diverse and demanding
requirements in modern project management. The training will help
participants to understand and gain practical experience and skills of
how to manage each stage of a project’s lifestyle to achieve the desired
deliverables.
2.1 Background
Over the past three
years, Solidaridad East and Central Africa has experienced increased
growth, almost doubling the projects in the region. In order to stay
ahead of the innovative trends, we need to develop the capacities of our
project staff. Projects are only as successful as the people who manage
and implement them. Evaluating project management personnel
competencies will enable Solidaridad to identify individuals who are or
have the potential to become superior project managers and determine
what is needed in the way of training and development to raise
performance levels. With project management personnel having superior
competency levels, projects are managed more effectively, increasing the
probability of success, and creating a higher impact. We envision
conducting four training sessions one in each of the following countries
– Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda.
2.2 Expected Project Outcomes

aim of the course is to give participants knowledge of the principles
and methods used in designing, implementing, and evaluating projects. In
particular, the course should improve participants’ abilities to:

- Develop cost estimates and budgets
- Plan project implementation, staffing, resourcing, branding and visibility
