1 SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME PROGRAMME AND PROJECT CYCLE TRAINING ACTIVITIES FOR 2019

2 PPCM - TRAINING PROGRAMME 2019 Programme and Project Cycle Management The responsibility to establish national and international development policy frameworks is at the heart of governments and international organizations mandates. They are coordinating implementation efforts of national development plans, global development goals, including the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. In order to pursue them, managers design and implement programmes and projects aimed at desired results, targeting a range of areas as large as the SDGs themselves. To do so, international organizations and governments mostly recruit experts in the technical areas in which they operate. However, these experts often do so without having had much exposure to the concepts, tools and techniques of Programme and Project Cycle Management (PPCM) inevitable tools in such efforts. The Centre proposes to support these staff through a range of specialized and complementary courses in the area of PPCM, but complementing it with offers on the general development sphere and resource mobilization. As such, PPCM cuts across many technical fields and is aiming at creating complementary skills and capacity to achieve the SDGs. The SDP activity cluster on Programme and Project Cycle Management currently includes learning activities on: results-based management, programme management, e.g. programme strategic alignment and governance, programme stakeholders engagement and lifecycle management, programming in the context of the SDGs and the 2030 Agenda project cycle management topics, e.g. project identification and design, project planning and budgeting, project implementation and monitoring, monitoring and evaluation of programmes and projects, financial management of development projects, risk management in development projects, public-private partnerships, impact evaluation of public policies, programmes and projects, leadership and motivation skills: making teams effective. The flagship activity in the area of Programme and Project Cycle Management is the Master in Management of Development offered in the framework of the Turin School of Development. 02 Mastering the principles and techniques of PPCM has become critical for any development worker who aims at designing relevant and impactful interventions. Assessing performance and value for money during the implementation of programmes and projects is also a function that managers should undertake continuously. Monitoring of progress lays the groundwork for evaluation of programmes and projects for relevance, impact, effectiveness, efficiency and sustainability. Such evaluation is needed to maximize learning, to improve project management processes and to demonstrate value for money to partners. The Sustainable Development Programme provides training and learning opportunities which explore the full spectrum of competencies needed for successful Programme and Project Cycle Management, including team work, interpersonal skills and advanced tools and techniques to cope with complex systems that characterise programme and project environments. Special emphasis is placed on cross-cutting issues like human rights, gender equity and environmental sustainability.

5 PPCM - SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME Master en Gouvernance et Management des Marchés Publics en appui au Développement Durable Le programme a pour objectif de permettre aux participants d acquérir l ensemble du corpus de connaissances et les capacités techniques nécessaires à la régulation, la passation, l exécution, le suivi et l audit des marchés publics. Ce programme est unique et complet dans la mesure où il est construit sur les quatre piliers qui soutiennent les systèmes nationaux de régulation des marchés publics tels que définis par l OCDE, ainsi que sur les cadres réglementaires nationaux et les procédures des principaux partenaires internationaux du développement (banques multilatérales de développement, organisations internationales, agences spécialisées, etc.). Ce master associe harmonieusement la théorie et la pratique tant au niveau de la régulation des marchés publics qu au niveau de la passation, de l exécution et de la gestion des marches publics et des contrats. Cible: Ce programme de Master s adresse à des professionnels actifs qui désirent se spécialiser dans le domaine de la gestion des contrats publics et qui souhaitent occuper les fonctions suivantes: spécialistes de la passation des marchés; dirigeants et cadres de la fonction publique et des collectivités locales chargés de la gestion des contrats; responsables des organs nationaux de régulation et de supervision des marches publics; auditeurs, gestionnaires de projets et programmes d investissement public; responsables de la passation des marchés auprès des institutions financières internationales; consultants et formateurs en passation des marchés. Masters programmes run by the Turin School of Development are blended learning programmes composed of a mix of face-to-face interactive classroom learning with distance learning and home-based research work; all packaged in a pragmatic and intensive delivery modality which is time-saving and cost effective especially for professionals with ongoing job responsibilities that may limit their opportunities for pursuing postgraduate education requiring longer periods of separation from the job.
