This module incorporates three inter-related learning strategies. The three day-long workshops will be used for the consideration of core issues and key tools relating to Project Cycle Management. The tutorials will allow discussion of the individual critical research students are undertaking to prepare their reports, and support for any study skills needs the tutor and students identify. The independent study will allow reading around selected topics, the development of individual critical responses to the reading and the preparation for the work-based portfolio.

This module explores the process of Project Cycle Management. It covers strategy development, project implementation and impact assessment. The module begins with an examination of the project cycle management approach. Strategy development focuses on the logical framework analysis. Project implementation explores practical solutions to the challenges of project development and delivery. Impact assessment stresses the importance of evaluation and assesses a variety of tools and techniques including Prove it!, The Arts Council of England Toolkit and Participatory Action Research.
