Since the last workshop in Nicosia in April, KNO experts have been writing a series of "case analyzes" of the projects that were involved in the initial PDPM effort. These are currently under review for accuracy. Several have been selected for more in-depth coverage, and others as more mini-cases. The cases support a primary goal of the investment in PDPM for the Turkish Cypriot Community - that of promoting best practices in project management for SMEs and NGOs in upcoming years.
The focus of the cases are on the capacity building successes of the project. Since the goal of the program is to develop individual project manager and local consultant knowledge and skills, the case descriptions will primarily emphasize this aspect in the portraits.
Each project was quite different - some were relatively short duration and are able to be completed in the 8 months of the program training and coaching. Most however, are of quite longer duration and thus the PDPM skill building has been applied at the beginning or in some cases mid-point in execution.
The collection of cases will be published in English pdf format by the end of June. If funding is available, a Turkish translation will be provided by the end of summer.They will be available from the CDP office PDPM Project Manager by request.
