Changing the World Through Projects: The importance of Project Management in the Development Sector

Would you dig wells to provide potable water to villages? Establish micro-banks that raise women out of poverty? Protect an endangered ecosystem? Rehabilitate a school? Install rural health clinics for underserved communities? Distribute food to the hungry?

Not surprisingly, few people answer: “I would manage projects!”
And yet, millions of development workers change the world every day through activities in agriculture, health care, microfinance, conservation, affordable housing, education, infrastructure and human rights.
They all share one thing in common: They change the world through projects!

Development and humanitarian organizations manage their work through projects. Their offices are staffed by project officers who manage project teams. In turn, the project team writes project proposals, develops project plans, implements project activities, monitors project progress, and evaluates project impact. Then, most importantly, beneficiary communities invest their time, energy, and resources in the projects. They trust the projects to build upon their collective strengths, to reinforce their areas of comparative weakness, and to solve the challenges that otherwise might be considered out of their control.
