It is important to distinguish between a Mission/Strategic Planning Workshop and a Training Workshop.
  • A Mission/Strategic Planning Workshop is a hands-on project design workshop
  • A Training Workshop is usually for either capacity development of staff
    or for introduction of the LFA concepts to senior staff

We have neither the competence to run LFA courses in the vernacular for grassroots level workers nor the conviction that it will be useful for them.

This is why we feel that participants with a minimum background of graduate level education and fluency in English are likely to benefit most from our workshops.

Typically a Mission Planning Workshop for senior project functionaries will last for 4 days.

It is advisable to follow this up with an advanced workshop to introduce Action Planning, Control & Review.

The recommendations arising out of the experience of NORAD (pl. see page 21 of Third Edition of LFA Handbook) are:

"Whenever feasible, theLFA workshop should:

  • be undertaken in the project area
  • include representatives of all involved parties [stakeholders]
  • be facilitated by an independent LFA facilitator/moderator"

We also offer Advanced Courses on:

  • Data Management and MIS
    • Data analysis using elementary statistics and computer usage for project monitoring
    • Performance Improvement based on Data Analysis
    • Process Measurement
  • Process Management (Project Implementation includinng sub-modules, which could be stand-alone training programmes)
    • Process Mapping and Detailing
    • Project Risk Analysis (PERT 3-time Estimates and Variance along Critical Path, Bayesian Analysis and Overall Certainty Index development)
    • Project Scheduling using PERT/CPM (Introduction to Microsoft Project)
    • Prioritisation for Managers using AHP (Analytic Hierarchic Process)
