« The training program is well structured, as is the time available. The trainer was able to edify us on certain aspects of the course through practical exercises and personal experience. The training is interactive and based on andragogy. »

« The identification of indicators, the feasibility study, the effects and impact of the project are elements that I now understand better when writing a research project. Researching hypotheses and identifying and mitigating risks will be better valued in my projects. I better understand the logic of the logical framework. »

« I’m very happy to have taken part in this training course on the project management cycle, as it enabled me to improve my technical knowledge of very specific project development issues. »
