Project Planning & Management
Project planning and management is the engine that turns ideas, whether a CBO activity, a climate-smart farm initiative, or a design business launch, into results on the ground. Without it, even well-intentioned efforts waste resources, miss deadlines, or fail entirely. At ActionPath Africa, training youth in project management means giving them a practical, low-jargon toolkit to plan, execute, track, and close projects successfully, even with limited budgets and basic technology.
