»In the course of my life I have realized that the narrow sense of the human existence can be gained by being of service, taking account of the requirements of our fellow-men. This being of service is the original duty of the individual as the participant of the creation of God. Hence, I have become a founder considering this concept of mutuality.« (Karl Kübel)

Invitation Advanced Training

Invitation for a three-day Advanced Training on “Impact Oriented Project Planning and Monitoring” to be held at Karl Kübel Institute for Development Education, India

December, 8th to 10th 2010

Target group:
We welcome nominations from organisations dealing with projects and programmes of development cooperation in all fields and being responsible or involved in activities of project cycle management. Knowledge of formalized planning procedures like log frame-planning and the use of project cycle management are appreciated.

Objectives:
-
Participants have a better understanding of the significance of "impact orientation" in the field of development cooperation and for their concrete project work.

- Participants are in a position to increase the impact of their projects by practicing impact oriented project planning and monitoring.

Contents:

After exploring the significance of impact orientation in development cooperation and for project work the workshop focuses on practical challenges of putting impact orientation into practice. The participants share their experiences with impact orientation in their field of work in order to learn from one another and to identify common difficulties which then again can also be worked on more intensely during the workshop.

Project Cycle Management (PCM) and working with Logical Frameworks (Log frames) will shortly be reviewed to lay a common ground for the practical exercises: defining impacts and impact chains, setting up indicators and milestones, designing an appropriate monitoring system and using appropriate monitoring tools. All practical exercises start with a methodological introduction and are being practiced with concrete project examples (case studies). Finally, alternative approaches will shortly be presented and further literature will be recommended and supplied with a CD-ROM to all participants.
