About the programme

Course Overview

Stakeholders withdraw support for reforestation and desertification projects quietly before they withdraw it formally. The estimate for desertification projects that nobody challenged is usually the one that fails. Each session closes with a decision the participant must justify about this aspect of project and portfolio delivery in their own setting. It concentrates on the parts of reforestation and desertification projects that determine outcomes and treats the rest proportionately. Participants gain a realistic view of what this part of project and portfolio delivery costs and what it returns. Improvement in desertification projects stalls when it depends on one capable individual rather than a defined method. The programme works equally well for those formalising reforestation and desertification projects for the first time and those improving an existing approach. Across sectors, teams that rehearse desertification projects outperform teams that only plan it. Participants leave with a plan for the wider project and portfolio delivery agenda sized to what their organisation can realistically absorb.
