Short Description of the Course

The course provides a comprehensive framework for planning, implementing, monitoring, and evaluating projects. It guides participants through the creation of a robust project logic that demonstrates the logical sequence of inputs, activities, outputs, and outcomes necessary to achieve project goals.
