Project Management - Handbook for CBOs IDASA (2005)

There are increasing opportunities for community-based organisations (CBOs) to sustain themselves. They can do this by accessing funding or by tendering through local government structures. However, CBOs are expected to be able to manage the finances and the deliverables in a professional manner, which also ensures that projects are successfully implemented.
To achieve this most effectively it is necessary to improve the management of projects. The principles of project management might be familiar to CBOs because many are practising some of these principles on a daily basis already, but it is useful to have a disciplined framework, with tools and techniques to enhance the existing capacity in CBOs. It also helps CBOs if there is always sufficient documentation of these processes.
