Coaching for Development Initiative Launched by IPMA Young Crew in Nepal
A new initiative has been announced by the members of the IPMA Young Crew, project management students, mentors and supporters. They also invite interest, participation and support from around the world to make it indeed a global effort.
According to PMForum's International Correspondent in Nepal Suraj Dahal, who is also chair of the newly recognized Project Management Association of Nepal, "The days before Christmas and New Year's Eve are the time to look back at the achievements of the year, share good news and give presents. I wanted to share with you an initiative that has kept some of us, PM enthusiasts, active after our initial discussions during the 23rd IPMA World Congress in Helsinki.'
Suraj (pictured left) continued, "My international colleagues and I felt inspired to participate in the creation of a new endeavor of the IPMA Young Crew: Coaching for Development. Through this project we intend to encourage people in project management to contribute and cooperate in developing countries and assist them in transmitting and generating knowledge through collaboration."
Objectives for the new initiative are to train and coach young project managers in developing countries, to share experiences and knowledge, and to extend the networks of all parties. This initiative is starting out in 2010 with a pilot project: a training-coaching workshop in Nepal. Project management coaches from all over the world will meet social entrepreneurs in Nepal for an intense one and a half week workshop in September / October.
Mr. Dahal adds, "To make Coaching for Development real, we need support. Please help us spread the word. There are, I'm sure, organizations or individuals who would want to be a part of the initiative and help make it possible."
