Project Managers launch their society.
A NUMBER of project planners,
evaluators and managers have launched their society bringing them together.
Under the banner of the
International Project Monitoring and Evaluation Society {IProMES}, the project
managers say this will be now their professional body representing their
issues.
Speaking at Accacia Premier
Hotel in Kisumu on Friday, the Society’s Vice Chair Dr. Joyce Osogo said it is
a society that brings together professionals active in project planning,
design, implementation, monitoring and evaluation from all over the world.
She says the society was
formed last year and it is registered with the registrar of Societies with the
aim of injecting professionalism and best practices in the area of project
planning and management.
“We want to provide a
platform for interaction and information sharing among all those interested in
project planning, design, implementation, monitoring and evaluation in the
forums for the purpose of disseminating knowledge and information,” she says.
Osogo says already they have
registered 60 members in Kisumu County alone, adding that the Nairobi and
Mombasa chapters will soon be opened.
She says they will do the
capacity building for new members while demonstrating to them sound
professional knowledge.
Dr. Osogo adds that they will
hold an international conference in Kisumu in June this year so as to help in
taking stocks of what they have achieved as a society.
