Effective projects do not start with activities

They start with real needs and a clear understanding of the change we want to create. This video series offers a structured and practical journey through the essential elements of project design. Step by step, you will explore how to move from identifying needs to defining objectives, designing coherent activities, measuring results, managing risks, and ensuring long-term impact. Each short lesson focuses on a key building block of strong project logic, helping you develop projects that are relevant, realistic, measurable, and sustainable. Whether you are new to project development or seeking to refine your approach, this series will strengthen your capacity to design interventions that truly make a difference.
