Implementation

Project Cycle Management (PCM) is a framework within which to identify and clarify problems and then design, plan, implement, monitor and evaluate projects to overcome them. This PMC toolkit is a practical workbook on how to design, develop, manage, monitor and evaluate regeneration and development projects. It provides best practice techniques for all aspects of project management that are supported by diagrams, templates and illustrations. The toolkit can be used as a workbook for those who wish to apply any of the techniques and exercises in their work, and as a study guide for students, on the job learners and participants of training courses.

The author addresses issues surrounding formulation of PCM including preparing and formulating the logical framework, carrying out budget plans and project proposals. Appraisals and commitment are then considered with the toolkit providing details on project elegibility, relevance and feasibility. The toolkit also guides the reader through various implementation issues and evaluation, and aims to:

• explain project cycle management and how it can be used as a framework for organising regeneration and development programmes
  
• explain how to build a logical framework to help stakeholders discuss all the implications of what they are trying to do and build robust projects
  
• introduce a range of participatory development methods as a basic skills toolkit for development workers
  
• show how to engage with stakeholders in building shared approaches to regeneration and development
  
• explain how to identify mainstreaming opportunities and design project benefits to be sustained
  
• explain how to use quality assurance to guide project development, appraise projects and monitor and evaluate project implementation
