Asset Management & Inventory Management
Inventory management, or inventory control, is an attempt to balance inventory needs and requirements with the need to minimize costs resulting from obtaining and holding inventory. There are several schools of thought that view inventory and its function differently. These will be addressed in this course, but first we present a foundation to facilitate the reader’s understanding of inventory and its function.
The course provides an outline on the importance of an effective inventory management system. Inventory is looked at in terms of the overall cash flow of a business entity. The course also looks at methods of applying an effective inventory management system and more current approaches to inventory management.

Gender & Disability Analysis, Mainstreaming in Projects & organizations.
This training brings together two key issues; these are gender and disability – aspects that have, for a long time, treated independent of each other by advocates of either gender or disability mainstreaming. Accordingly, this discourse is an instrument for capacity development, so that participants use the gained knowledge to promote gender and disability mainstreaming in development processes
Understanding about disability and persons with disabilities has evolved dramatically in many parts of the world. There is a growing realization that limitation on the participation of persons with disabilities in society and institutions stem from interactions between the individual’s impairment and attitudinal and environmental barriers. This trend has fostered increasing recognition of the rights and abilities of persons with disabilities, and their potential to contribute to society.

Project Management, Result Based Monitoring and Evaluation.
Project management has become an organizational –wide core competency, nearly every project implementation staff/Team (PIT) regardless of discipline is involved in managing one or more projects. This training is designed to provide project staffs with knowledge and skills that cut across all types of projects.
The key to a successful project is in the planning and management: being clear on the objectives, deciding how to work together as a team, thinking through how to approach the scope, setting up a schedule and budget, understanding clearly what will make the deliverable acceptable to the client of the project. The easiest way to plan a project is to have those who will execute the work help with the planning. This has the added benefit that the team is ready to hit the ground running during execution.
