Our lead consultant in People Management, Linzi Moore is working with 2 leading INGOs to design facilitation sessions that encourage women to become more involved at a leadership level in the coffee cooperatives of Rwanda. The modules will be paired with technical sessions that help farmers get the best quality coffee from their trees, and will work with both husbands and wives to ensure all parties are on board with any changes needed in the family to support the women's leadership roles.

Dr. Patrick Spaven designed and delivered a 4 day course focussed on Planning, Monitoring and Evaluation in a Results-Based Management Environment. UNECA has a clearly defined RBM system, but UNECA's Office of Strategic Planning and Programme Management (OPM) had identified that this was not being effectively utilised by Project and Programme Managers. IMA was therefore contracted to design and deliver a tailored training course to support the mainstreaming of effective RBM.

The IMA International M&E course continues to provide a solid foundation in monitoring and evaluation to participants from Nigeria through to Malaysia, addressing key issues facing M&E practitioners, such as developing an M&E plan and tracking high level results. The course also continues to allow specific issues that individuals are facing in their current work to be addressed through individual tutorials and early identification of particular concerns and challenges. This is all set against the beautiful background of the Table Mountain providing participants with ample opportunity to enjoy the various delights when not engaged on the course.

IMA International was invited by the Partnership for Transforming Health Systems Phase II (PATHS2) to develop a tailor-made Knowledge Management course to be delivered in Nigeria. PATHS2 is a 6-year national programme funded by the UK’s Department for International Development (DFID) to lead health system strengthening effort in Nigeria. The course provided an introduction to Knowledge Management (KM) for officials from the Lagos State Ministry of Health (LSMOH); staff members from the Lagos office of the DFID PATHS2 project; and KM specialists from other PATHS2 state offices, and representatives from the head office in Abuja. The course was delivered by Richard Bostock and Mick Howes of IMA International who together tailored the course for this group using discussion with the client, mind mapping and building on previous KM courses IMA has delivered. The underlying purpose of the course was to teach participants primarily by directly exposing them to something approximating the real life situations in which they would subsequently find themselves; with only occasional recourse to more conventional power-point based exposition of general principles and procedures. This work continues to build on IMA's expertise of delivering Knowledge Management training both for tailor-made groups and on our scheduled open training programmes, with the next Knowledge Management (KM) course taking place from 24 - 27 October in Nairobi, Kenya.
