The P.C.M as a whole (Theory) & Let’s start again: how to fill in an application form (Practice)

Objective : The aim of this class is to offer an overview of the Project Cycle Management briefly considering all phases of the life-cycle of a project. A secondary aim is to offer a detailed analysis of an example of application form – taken from DG Justice – highlighting where, in the template, knowledge of PCM is indeed required in order to present a good project proposal.

Main target group: NGOs, including foundations and associations, trade unions and public sector (universities) as well as consulting companies working in development cooperation may be interested in this class. Independent consultants already working in the field may require an update as well as international grant-makers may find useful tips when setting criteria for project proposal presentation. Experience and knowledge in international development cooperation are not requested. Attendance to previous classes of this course provides some advantage in understanding some more complex issues.
