Programme prospectus
The aim of the course is to familiarize water sector managers and development professionals with the role of integrated project management in the delivery of sustainable water and sanitation services in low and middle-income countries.

Upon course completion, the participants will be able to appreciate the development-related issues that impact on planning, development and management of water services and will be able to identify worthwhile projects, select alternatives and develop implementation plans.

Participants will be exposed to a combination of conventional project management issues (such as objective oriented planning, logical framework, tendering methods, contract formats for procurement of goods and works, implementation schedules, monitoring and evaluation formats and economic analysis) and development related issues to project management (such as demand responsive and participatory approaches, demand assessment and social, technical, institutional, economical/financial planning issues).
