The Certified Development Project Manager (CDPM®) is a professional development program designed to increase the capabilities of staff working in development organizations and NGOs worldwide. The CDPM certification confirms that the participants have acquired the knowledge on the use of processes, methods, techniques, and tools necessary for the effective management of development projects.
A certification is a valuable credential for professionals working in development projects. In particular, those who are seeking to increase their responsibilities, obtain a raise or explore new job opportunities. This certificate is essential for development projects and program managers charged with the responsibilities of leading a cross-functional or project team to success. It is appropriate for organization leaders, mid-level managers, and project managers who need to learn the critical leadership skills necessary to ensure the high performance of a project team. Public and non-profit organizations are requiring certified project managers as projects grow in complexity and donors demand transparency, accountability, and efficiency.
Upon successful completion of the program, certificates holders will be able to:
- Apply knowledge, skills, tools, and techniques to manage the various phases of economic and social development projects.
- Plan and monitor work to complete assigned tasks within the established timeframe according to objectives.
- Develop analytical frameworks, use effective communication techniques, and apply planning and management methodologies.
