How To Improve Your Skills: Management Of Development Projects

September 2, 2016 by Leave a Comment


Following the 2010 earthquake and the subsequent cholera outbreak in Haiti, development related work by international organizations like the Inter-American Development Bank increased significantly as they sought to finance more emergency and infrastructure rehabilitation projects across the country.

Nearly six years later, other sectors such as Education, Water and Sanitation, Transport, Energy and Agriculture were added to the sphere of executing projects. Given the subsequent increase in the number of professionals working on project teams, it became clear there was a need to better train these professionals in the standards and best practices in development work and project management. In this context, the Inter-American Development Bank has decided to provide professionals working both in the public and private sectors, NGOs and international organizations with access to an open online course on “Management of Development Projects“. This course is available in French through the edX platform. The course, first offered in Spanish, was a resounding success with more than 80,000 people taking part.
