INTENSIVE (online optional) 

This course equips particpants with the practical skills and knowledge to plan, design and manage transformational programme interventions, and play a leading role in the agencies involved in this type of work in a diverse range of contexts. The strengths and weaknesses of key actors in development are considered, with particular attention to faith-based organisations, and key current issues are discussed including partnership, decolonisation of development, environmental concerns, inclusion, transparency and accountability. Participants gain hands on experience of using both main stream and more innovative tools and approaches for programme planning and design through the use of case studies and scenario planning.

The course will be facilitated by Dr Mark Galpin who has extensive experience of development programme design and management, and leadership of faith based development organisations. 

Those accessing Advanced Short Courses will be provided with relevant reading materials and other information to enable their full participation in the course.

What Students Say

"This has given me a very helpful insight into the world of planning and management in NGOs. A wide range of topics too that have both addressed questions but introduced a lot of things I never knew I needed to know! It is challenging to hear from the experiences of others and very helpful to work through an actual example case study to design a project."

“A really enjoyable week. Great insights and training. Thanks!”
