Guided Zoom Training: Practical Humanitarian and Development Project Management
Guided Training with 5 Live Zoom Sessions | 2–16 April 2026
Navigate project complexity and deliver impact with practical tools and expert guidance.
This guided program provides the project management foundation humanitarian and development professionals need. You'll develop practical tools and frameworks, building confidence whether you're new to management or strengthening existing skills.
In live sessions, you'll work directly with Neil Kendrick (25+ years experience)—ask questions, troubleshoot real challenges, and build frameworks you'll use immediately. Walk away with the confidence to manage projects effectively in complex environments.
Who This Is For
Program managers, coordinators, and project officers in NGOs, UN agencies, and local organizations who want to strengthen their project management skills—whether you're new to management or building on existing experience.
What You'll Learn
Foundations and Context
Master the project cycle and understand how project management adapts to humanitarian and development contexts. Learn to navigate complex environments, coordinate in challenging settings, and apply management principles that work in resource-constrained situations.
Essential Tools and Frameworks
Build proficiency with core project management tools including logical frameworks, timeline development, resource planning, and risk management. Create practical frameworks you can immediately apply to structure and organize your projects effectively.
Monitoring, Evaluation and Budgeting
Develop skills in tracking project progress, conducting evaluations, and managing budgets effectively. Learn data collection methods, create monitoring reports, and master budget planning and resource allocation for humanitarian contexts.
Stakeholder Engagement and Adaptive Management
Master stakeholder mapping, communication strategies, and community engagement techniques. Build adaptive management skills to navigate changes, solve problems creatively, and maintain project momentum when contexts shift unexpectedly.
Integration and Application
Connect all elements into a cohesive project management approach tailored to your context. In the final session, we integrate your learning and create an action plan. You then submit your assignment for personalized feedback.

This is guided self-study — you work through structured video lessons and exercises at your own pace, then bring your questions to live Zoom sessions where we tackle real challenges together.

What Participants Say
"As an executive director with 20 years in humanitarian work, I had extensive field experience but needed updated project management tools. This coaching provided the systematic frameworks I was missing. Now I can better support my teams and manage our programs more strategically."
Micheline S., Executive Director
"I moved from UN headquarters to field implementation without proper project management training. No one had shown me 'how it's done from A to Z.' This coaching filled those critical gaps, especially in budget management. Now I can take more initiative and contribute strategically to my team rather than just navigating day by day."
Camille, Programme Officer, Norwegian Refugee Council
"I came with hands-on experience from sustainability projects in India and Brazil but lacked formal project management skills—especially in budgeting and reporting. This coaching gave me the concrete skills and confidence I needed to transition to strategic planning roles. Finally, I have the complete toolkit employers are looking for."
Iris, Development Professional
