KurzbeschreibungThe course provides a deeper understanding of the methodological foundations of results-oriented planning and steering of development projects. Together with the participants, we reflect on the situation-specific application of instruments for project planning and the development of a monitoring system, which makes it possible, in complex contexts, to comprehensibly adapt and steer projects.
LernzielParticipants are able to describe the project planning process using appropriate technical terminology, to make a comprehensive description of the initial situation and to initiate the elaboration of an intervention logic. Participants are also able to design monitoring processes and derive steering measures during project implementation.
Inhalt• Basic concepts of result-oriented project cycle management
• Methods, instruments, and resources needed for project planning
• The logical framework as a project planning and monitoring tool
• Methods, instruments, and resources needed for project monitoring, and for the development of a monitoring system, including indicators for assessing objectives achievement and steering adjust-ments
• Alternatives to the logframe (approach) in project cycle management

KurzbeschreibungThe course enables participants to understand the significance of the engagement of civil society organisations in policy processes in order to overcome exclusion and foster voice. The course acquaints participants with concepts and practice of civil society participation in shaping policies at micro and macro level and provides practical tools for influencing political processes.
LernzielRecognizing that development is inherently political, this course covers political processes and how they intertwine with the goals and strategies of various agents in international cooperation. It discusses the significance and implications of civil society’s efforts to foster voice and inclusion. The course provides a nuanced understanding of different strategic options and approaches to contribute to policy processes and offers tools that have proven to be effective in practical development cooperation work. It provides an opportunity for participants to apply concepts related to the strengthening of civil society to their projects and case studies.
Inhalt- Understanding policy processes: Institutions and actors at the macro, meso and micro level
- Political settlements, power distribution and inequalities of access to rights and resources
- Exclusive and fragile institutions, and the influence of dominant coalitions
- Policy in terms of rules and norms emerging from a negotiation process between interdependent actors
- Actor-oriented approaches, methods and tools to analyse, engage with and contribute to policy processes
