Sustainable Project Design

  • Online

In humanitarian projects, it is necessary to consider the project’s impact on the local community holistically, in addition to industry and business measures. It is crucial to remember any humanitarian activity’s goal is to promote the community’s welfare, and this goal supersedes the specific objectives set for the project.

This courses focuses on the planning that happens in the early stages of project design, and specifically on sustainable and humanitarian practices in project management. The initial phases of planning a project are crucial to its eventual success, and can set the project on the right track if completed thoughtfully and with humanitarian goals and frameworks in mind. Also covered are general best practices in participatory project design, problem analysis, and resources analysis.

This is the fifth module of the Humanitarian Technology and Sustainable Development at IEEE curriculum. We recommend you complete the first four courses in the curriculum before beginning in order to build upon the foundation of information.
