In an effort to improve EU aid to the ECOWAS Commission, thirty participants comprising technical directors, project managers and other staff of the ECOWAS Commission have been trained on “Project Management Cycle” in Benin, from September 12 to 17th 2011.
The objective of this training is to give basic training in Project Management Cycle (PMC), the Logical Framework (LC), Programming tools, Management, Monitoring and Evaluation of projects and programmes in the implementation of the EDF procedures.
This training session gave participants the necessary background in the development of the logical framework with all its methodological limitations. It also helps participants to be equipped with how to use the project management cycle and logical framework, not as an administrative formality, but as a real tool for management, monitoring and evaluation.
In addition, the session allowed participants to have better understand of the project cycle including programming, identification, formulation, financing, implementation and evaluation.

One response to “ECOWAS Workshop on Projects Management Cycle and Logical Framework Approach”
The recent training event on Project Management Cycle (PMC) for Project Manager/Officers in the ECOWAS Commission is well thought out activity that is capable of attracting development partners and Donor Agencies to intervening in the socio-economic development of the ECOWAS States. Possessing in house skills and knowledge in the area of Project Document preparation and Project Management (Design, Monitoring & Evaluation) will provide the Commission with working tools that is good enough to attract development partners & Donor Agencies’ Funds for the overall development of the sub-region.
As a Project Management Personnel, I know the skill will be very useful to the ECOWAS COMMISSION in the course of time.
