The Project Design Certification Programme will help to strengthen participants' knowledge and skills in designing and writing project proposals, including the oversight of such processes. It also aims to enhance participants' ability to identify and leverage opportunities for mobilizing financial resources for projects. By sponsoring participants on this certification programme, and thus professionalizing and certifying their staff, organizations will strengthen their institutional capacity for designing successful projects and raising funding for them.
Technical specialists; national project coordinators; project managers and assistants; staff of international organizations; national development planning officials; NGO officials involved in the development of project proposals and resource mobilization activities.
Organizations require their staff to develop and implement projects in their respective areas of specialization. These professionals are often highly specialized in their technical area, but lack the competencies needed to design well-structured and complete projects.
This certification programme contributes to closing this skills gap and enhancing the candidates’ personal skills and this way strengthening their capacity to design successful projects and to mobilize resources.
After all, a well-written project document is the first step in ensuring project success, and
is the best entry point for fundraising and partnership building.
