Overview
Experience has shown that project and investment planning in Cameroon like in any other developing country is poorly undertaken, and this adversely affects project performance. All projects require adequate planning for them to be successful. One major problem facing both the private and public sectors is that of resource constraints which limit the ability of these sectors to invest in feasible and profitable areas of the society. Hence, there is need for efficient allocation of limited resources to project for maximum impact/benefits to be attained. This requires the right choice of investment (which has to be done through adequate planning) should be made at the appropriate time. This certificate course underscores the need to train and strengthen the capacities of potential and existing project managers, investors and other stakeholders in the field of development. The course is designed to acquaint participants with the basic tools and techniques for project and investment planning, analysis and appraisal. The course will specifically heighten participants’ awareness of the relationship among plans, programmes and projects; enhance understanding of the link between project and investment planning, analysis and appraisal; familiarize participants with the tools and techniques of project analysis and appraisal as well as introduce Microsoft project professional software and its applicability to project design, investment planning and management.
