Description
Throughout this hands-on training, you’ll develop practical skills to tackle real-world challenges in USAID funded projects. By the end, you’ll be equipped to quickly navigate USAID rules and regulations to solve day-to-day operational issues. You’ll apply your knowledge of the USAID Award Cycle to anticipate and address potential roadblocks. The course will allow you to efficiently find answers to crucial questions about your award, such as determining allowable expenses (i.e., “Can we purchase laptops?”), managing travel requirements (i.e., “Does this international trip need prior approval?”), and handling asset disposal (i.e., “What’s the correct procedure for disposing of a vehicle?”).
You’ll gain strategies to maintain donor compliance, while maximizing project effectiveness and create and implement policies for successful grant or cooperative agreement management. The training will also help you build and nurture strong working relationships with USAID.
Our experienced facilitators will guide you through interactive exercises and real-case scenarios, ensuring you can immediately apply what you’ve learned to your project. Whether you’re new to USAID funding or a seasoned professional, you’ll leave this training with enhanced problem-solving skills and the confidence to navigate USAID requirements effectively.
