The volunteer will be in charge of designing and implementing a training on project management for the staff of MERCI Project. The training aims at supporting staff in monitoring projets in a more effective way.
Description
Objectifs
MERCI is the name of a mangrove reforestation project in Indonesia. Beside plant mangrove, there are other activities in this project, such us: conducting environmental campaign in schools, empowering local people, and networking with potential partners and government. Besides, MERCI staff consists in young local people, with no diploma in this matter. By joining this training on project management, the team will improve their understanding about how to manage projects. Moreover, it will help them to improve the quality of their projects.
The objectives of the training :
– Increase beneficiaries’ knowledge about project management, especially projects that are involving the community ;
– Improve beneficiairies’ skills in monitoring projets in the field with the team and the community involvement ;
– Strengthen the beneficiaries’ motivation in delivering service works in the community.
This training is relevant to the needs of the organization (MERCI project) and also for project implementing staff because they lack coaching and understanding on this topic; Therefore, the support of Planète Urgence volunteers is crucial because MERCI staff lacks the required skills and does not have enough financial to pay a trainer. It is not easy to find ressource in around MERCI site, and will be spend fantastic cost if we invited the trainer to come.
