2010 marks the 5 year anniversary since Project Aids formation following the 2004 Asian Tsunami which provided the catalyst for our creation. It also 12 months since the Victorian Black Saturday bushfire disaster. These major events have marked challenges and lessons in the delivery of project capability by not for profits (NFP), non government (NGO) and community organisations.
These events also serve as powerful reminders of the need for effective project management responses to these events over the short and long term. The demand for effective project management within the humanitarian, development and community sectors remains present and challenging. The Project Management communities role “giving back” to the wider community represents a valuable social contribution.
Project Aid continues its vision and mission to expand project management capability through training, mentoring and project partnership. We have come a long way and still face many new challenges to reach our objectives. It will be only achieved through the continuing generous contribution of project managers and our supporters who believe in the cause.
2010 represents an exciting new chapter for Project Aid and the PM community to participate in these initiatives. We continue to build strategic relationships, expand our delivery capability, mature our organisation, launch innovative programs and continually expand opportunities for PM volunteer participation.
We will leverage new and innovative ways to engage Project Managers and this year will expand our onsite PM training interstate, launch online PM training specifically for international development projects, increase fund raising to increase our organisation capability and promote project partnerships.
Project Aid provides practical opportunities for PMs to participate in this sector, provide leadership in championing NGO, NFP Project Management and building the bridge between the PM community, business and the Not for Profit, NGO and community organisations.
We remain positive and committed to achieving the vision of “bringing effective project management" to our partners.
Thanks for your consideration of our mission.
Your Faithfully
