How to plan successfully? A focus on priority setting, resource allocation and strategic planning for health (Health District Management) |
This intense three weeks course takes place once a year, in November in Vientiane, Laos.
The course aims at introducing the basic principles of strategic programme and project management. It also focuses on practical aspects of the planning and implementation process, using the techniques of a simulation exercise and computer based support.
Participants are working in small groups (max. 6 members) and take the roles of a project design mission - the group work is supervised by experienced facilitators. Using the Logical Framework Approach and other tools they will go through all steps of such a planning process and will write a project proposal document.
The course is designed especially for students with practical experience in project work or for those who aim to work in that field. Reading material will be distributed before and during the course. A very good proficiency of English in reading, writing and speaking is recommended for this course.
