The Project Planning Process Training (PPP)”
The PPP training incorporates the project cycle management methodology and well-known tools such as the Logical Framework. The training aims to simplify planning methods and to provide the organizations with a common approach and terminology.


As a result of this training, it is expected that:
• programme/project managers/officers will have the knowledge and tools to apply the PPP approach;
• the quality of programme/project proposals and their implementation and reporting will improve;
• planning standards and common terminology will be established;
• planning training will be tailored to the organizations, donors’ needs and requirements;
• in the long term, and after a certain period of training and implementing the PPP, the organization will improve their income generation and fund-raising, the quality of their programmes/projects and their reporting.
