INTRODUCTION
Cycle Management for Projects The Log-frame technique is the foundation of PCM, a management tool used in project development. The project cycle allows for the creation of mechanisms that guarantee stakeholders are consulted and pertinent information is available, boosting the ability to make well-informed decisions during pivotal project stages. Programming, Identification, Formulation, Financing, Implementation, and Evaluation are the six parts that make up the cycle. This course will give participants knowledge of the logical framework for project design, concepts of result-based management, and how to use PCM as a project structuring tool.

By conclusion of the Training Workshop, Participants will understand;
- The purpose of PCM and important tasks to be completed at each step.
