PMAN to Study Use of PM in Humanitarian and Development Aid Projects in Nepal
Humanitarian and development aid projects have played an important part to the social and economic development in Nepal for more than 30 years. Some of the humanitarian and development aid projects have run very well and some could have been much improved during their deliveries. Sharing good practices and continuously making effort to identify problems are keys to future improvements. One way could be through the increased level of application of Project Management knowledge and techniques, tools and methods in managing these projects.
If there has been any experience in Project Management to be shared in order to increase efficiency and effectiveness of managing this type of projects, it would be of a great value to all. At the first stage of this research, we would like to discover the level of the application of Project Management in managing humanitarian and development aid projects in Nepal. However, only with target I/NGOs' participation, the research would be possible; good practices can be identified; lessons learnt can be tallied and documented; and possible future improvements can be made.
Mr. Tikajit Rai (EE, PMP®), PMAN president, as a Nepal's counterpart lead researcher is collaborating with Dr. Xiaohong LI, professor at Sheffiled Business School, Sheffield Hallam University, UK, to conduct the research (the developed questionnaire can be downloaded). The data collected will be purely used for academic research and treated with strict confidence. The combined information generated from analysing collected data will be used to produce research findings that will also be presented in PMAN's upcoming PM National Conference in May, 2011 and generate possible publications.
A very similar type of the research is being conducted in the Great Lakes Region of Africa. The second stage of this work of identifying possible improvements has been planned to take place. This further allows the comparison to be made and helps to generate more robust findings. The research findings will be fed back to the participanting I/NGOs.
For more information, please, contact Mr. Rai at tikajit.rai@pman.org.np.
