Leadership and ManagementProgramme Management for Donor Funded Development Projects
Development and donor-funded programmes carry reporting, compliance and results-measurement obligations that differ substantially from commercial programme management, and this course is built specifically around that context. Participants work through logical framework design, results-based monitoring and donor compliance requirements, drawing on examples from health, agriculture and infrastructure programmes funded by multilateral and bilateral partners active across the region.
Course objectives
- Build a logical framework or theory of change linking activities to outcomes and impact
- Design a results-based monitoring and evaluation system that satisfies donor reporting requirements
- Manage multi-donor funding arrangements and disbursement conditions across a programme
- Apply fiduciary and procurement compliance requirements specific to donor-funded activity
- Prepare donor narrative and financial reports that withstand audit and verification
Who should attend
- Programme managers in NGOs and development organisations
- Monitoring, evaluation, accountability and learning specialists
- Government officials managing donor-funded programmes
- Grants and compliance officers
