GM1. Result Based Project Management and Basic Risk Training (4 days)
Many (national) organizations that rely on donors for financial support to maintain, expand, and create programs must be able to write strong proposals, design needs-based projects, draft LogFrames and budgets, and have a basic idea of Monitoring and Evaluation.

This four-day workshop designed by HDFF seeks to build a strong understanding of the intertwined skills needed for safe project management using realistic scenario-based situations.
Objectives:
-
Project/proposal design with the help of problem / objective tree

LogFrame as a major design, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation tool
