What is the course about?
It may feel overwhelming to try launching a development project. Where can you turn to for information on designing and managing projects? What practical tools are working today? How do you convey development concepts to a community? Together, through this course, we will explore the full process of designing successful development programs.
The course has been developed so that YOU can design a real, international development project, in real time, and package it in preparation for sharing with a donor. So you won't just be learning how to do this, you will complete this course with a finished product ready to request funding.
The goal of this course is to increase the number of people positively impacted by well designed projects.
We hope to do this in two ways.
One: by leverage. If we can get sound tools and techniques into your hands, you will be better prepared to develop impact-oriented projects for increasingly greater numbers of people.
Two: Encouraging you to engage community members in project design and implementation will increase the likelihood that positive outcomes will be sustained by communities for the long-term.
You will finish the course with a project design based upon community need, sustainability, solutions that use best practices, and sound project management tools such as log frames, budgets and schedules.
What the Course Will Provide You.
I will provide solutions to the challenges that I've seen in the form of downloadable documents and handbooks. You are free to use all of the templates, examples and handbooks that I've developed to get your organization running efficiently, develop donor relationships, get your projects running on track, and improve the lives of your community members.
You can use these course materials to:
- develop brand-new projects from scratch in response to a donor request for proposals
- help a new staff member inherit and launch a project designed by a former staff member
- get a current project with challenges back on track.
How long will it take to complete the course?
There are two ways to take this course. You can actually work with a real community in the field and use each of the assignments in a step-by-step progression to develop a real development project on the ground. If that's the case, and if you were to work between one and two hours a week, and do one assignment per week, you could complete this course in approximately 8 weeks.
You can also develop a virtual project which would speed the process up quite a bit because you wouldn't need to make time for meetings with community members.
How is the course structured?
I provide you with two kinds of resources.
1. Downloadable Word and Excel documents which you uses templates. You take my example template for each assignment, and simply edit it so that it matches the context of your very own project. If you keep the masters of these templates saved on your hard drive, you can use them again in the future for developing new projects over and over again. I also provide detailed workshop plans for doing things such as leading a participatory needs assessment.
2. Downloadable handbooks and manuals on a number of different subjects. You can scan the list of handbooks in order to find hands-on information about the subject matter of your project. I also provide links to websites for you can find additional information on the theme of your project.
Each assignment represents one sequential step in developing a project. If you do one assignment a week, you simply download that week's discussion, that week's homework instructions, and my example template of the finished assignment –in order to complete the assignment. Each assignment builds on the previous one. Much of the work is simple copy and paste from last week's assignment into this week's assignment—speeding up the process tremendously.
You will receive a Course Completion Certificate when you are all done.
