June 5, 2014
The GMS has attracted a large number of projects by international organizations (IOs), non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and investment projects by multi-national corporations and state enterprises in the region. Dealing with these projects, whether as a member of the project team, as a government liaison official or involved in monitoring and evaluation of projects, requires an understanding of project management. The multi-dimensional and diverse demands of such projects have created a strong need for qualified project managers and personnel, who are able to develop, implement, monitor and evaluate projects that are on-budget, on-schedule and on-target.
