IDB hosts workshop on Project Management techniques for professionals
The Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) recently launched its first Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) called “Project Management Techniques for Development Professionals”, on the Harvard-MIT IDB platform.
The purpose of the MOOC is to train professionals from public institutions, governmental and non-governmental organizations, and all those who manage or are interested in managing development projects.
This MOOC offers concepts and tools that can be applied by any team within and outside the IDB in the implementation of projects. Approximately 80 Guyanese citizens have registered for this online opportunity that was publicised using various channels.
In Guyana, the IDB convened a networking session for members of civil society organizations prior to a three-day face-to-face training opportunity on Project Cycle Management.
A total of 40 participants from 36 local non-governmental organizations (NGOs) will take part in the training that began on Wednesday at the Cara Lodge Hotel in Georgetown.
The Project Cycle Management training course is being delivered in partnership with the University of the West Indies Mona School of Business Management and is a certification course. It has been designed to build the capacity of participants in project design, project management, and monitoring and evaluation.
Fifteen staff members from three NGOs have also been awarded IDB Fellowships to participate in a Project Management Institute (PMI) course and become certified as PM4R Project Management Associates via the Harvard-MIT IDB online platform.
These initiatives form part of a regional human development agenda as the IDB continues to place great importance on supporting sovereign nations build their human capital.
Developed and developing countries prioritize skills improvement as a key strategy for economic competitiveness and growth, and civil society plays an important part in achieving that goal.
The IDB recognized the critical role this resource base plays in complementing other national investments and policies and is proud to support its development through these courses.
