Course Description
The Project Management for Development Professionals (PMD Pro) was developed by experts from several highly regarded non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and is adopted as a standard in many development organizations around the world. As the name implies, it serves as a guide for development organizations on how to create projects under the most difficult conditions and manage to run them until the end using the limited resources available.
