ABOUT THIS COURSE
Jour après jour les gouvernements, institutions publiques, les agences de développement ainsi que d'autres acteurs travaillant en faveur du développement économique et social en Amérique latine et dans les Caraïbes, font face à un défi majeur. Il s'agit de savoir comment transformer les propositions en réalités concrètes qui puissent améliorer le bien-être de la société et d'atteindre les résultats avec le temps et les ressources disponibles. Ce cours présente les concepts et les outils qui peuvent être appliqués à la gestion de projets, pouvant générer d'importantes améliorations pour atteindre les objectifs fixés. Ce MOOC vise donc à renforcer les capacités de gestion des projets de développement afin que les projets des gouvernements de la région soient exécutés de manière efficaces et efficients. Ce cours inclut des études de cas qui aident à comprendre les concepts et les outils clés pour la gestion de projet.
Le cours comprend également des présentations de Project Management Professionals (PMP)® ayants une grande expérience dans le sujet, des forums de discussion, ainsi que des conférences sélectionnées. La base conceptuelle de ce cours est la méthodologie de PM4R (Gestion de projet axée sur les résultats), développée par l'Institut de développement économique et social (INDES) de la BID. Les contenus sont basés sur les travaux du Project Management Institute (PMI), A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge, (PMBOK® Guide) 6th Edition, PMI, Inc., 2013. Bien que les meilleures pratiques soient présentes depuis de nombreuses années dans des projets privés d'entreprise, la BID a conduit dernièrement un processus pour leur incorporation progressive dans le secteur public, ainsi que dans les projets de développement, le tout afin d'améliorer la qualité de vie des habitants de la région.
