Online Course Announcement: Designing & Funding Sustainable Development Projects
In an effort to make our training accessible to a larger international audience, we are inexpensively offering key courses—online—on adapting to climate change, food security, project design, community participation, and funding.
Development staff from 67 countries are now using these courses to develop community-centered, sustainable development projects to address a range of challenges.
A module of the two most popular courses is being offered online in July, 2010.
OL 101. From the Ground Up: Designing Community-Centered Projects with Sustainable Solutions
July 6 – August 30, 2010: 8 Weeks
Gain an insight into contemporary methods of developing community-centered, impact-oriented projects. You will leave the course with practical field tools and develop a range of skills: needs assessments, project design, community workshops, and discovering evidence-based project activities. The course is designed to be used as a vehicle for you to develop a real project, in real time, during the course.
OL 102. Project Architecture: Planning for Impact
July 13 – August 30, 2010: 6 Weeks
This course will take the project concept developed in OL 101 and transform it with a powerful set of management tools into a project for presenting to donors. Logframes, detailed budgets, schedules and compelling fact sheets: these tools will communicate to donors, staff, and stakeholders exactly what you are going to accomplish, and lead the effective management of the project once funded.
