Development management

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Development management deals with the coordination and management processes of international development programs and projects. The dominant paradigm in development management is the intervention in the form of a transfer of aid by an external agency/donor and the oversight of the related project cycle, i.e. project identification, planning (formulation and appraisal), implementation and monitoring, and evaluation.

The Project Management Institute (PMI) has started an International Development Special Interest Group which provides program/project managers in the international development sector a forum to further define standards and enhance related skills.
