CIDT news – November

This impact story gives a full overview of our Project Cycle Management training programme delivered for the Caribbean Development Bank. This programme has helped to create a step change in results-oriented project management in the region, embedding skills for sustainability and rooting our strong partnership ethos and values across the Caribbean.

This recent blog piece published by Habiba M. Mohamed, a Research Assistant at CIDT, on the Global Partners Governance’s blog (October 2020). The blog piece, entitled “Egyptian Parliament and the Covid-19 pandemic: an active parliament regardless of the crisis”, tackles the impact of the global pandemic on the Egyptian public authorities, especially the Egyptian parliament.

This blog post focuses on lessons learned from 18 months of training with the Caribbean Development Bank. CIDT’s Ella Haruna and Daniela Baur look back on this successful programme and share reflections on some factors behind the success of the Project Cycle Management (PCM) Training Programme.
