Many small and medium-sized associations and organizations are deeply committed to helping people in countries of the Global South. The work on these projects is often done on a volunteer basis. A good idea and a strong commitment are essential—but for projects to be successfully implemented, careful planning is also necessary.
The workshop “From Project Idea to Concrete Implementation” provides a practical guide to turning an idea into a realistic and well-structured project. Participants will learn how to plan projects systematically, create realistic budgets, and identify typical challenges as early as the planning phase.
In addition to expert input, the workshop also offers an opportunity to exchange ideas with other organizations and initiatives involved in development cooperation.
