The course is aimed at development practitioners involved in international cooperation, especially those managing institutional capacity building and advocacy projects. It targets project managers, programme officers, and consultants responsible for designing and implementing complex development processes. While experience in standard project cycle management (PCM) is expected, prior knowledge of social systems theory is not required. Participants should ideally have practical project experience and computer literacy, as the course includes digital tools. The course is suited for those seeking innovative, flexible approaches to manage non-linear, dynamic social systems, enhancing development impact through adaptive complex and holistic project strategies. Participants come from diverse sectors, including NGOs, UN agencies, and private organizations, promoting valuable cross-sector knowledge sharing.
