Course Title
Project Management Implementation
The Palestinian Water Authority is implementing Certifying Wastewater and Reuse
Technicians through the generous fund of the Spanish government through AECID, this
projet has many activities to be applied during a period of 24 months,
Wastewater treatment systems protect public health and the environment only if they are
being properly operated and maintained. The Wastewater Operator Certification Program
is intended to protect public health, environmental quality, and the financial investment of
wastewater facilities. In the wastewater industry every employer has a general obligation to
perform due diligence in ensuring the competency of the personnel providing services at
public facilities Wastewater certification provides employers with evidence that the
certificate holder has demonstrated a certain level of job-related knowledge, skills and
abilities. It provides a documented level of assurance that employees are competent in
safe work practices.
The project in
brief
Thus a course on ‘Project Management Implementation (PMI)‘ will be conducted by PWA
by a local consultant to help the trainees in the Palestinian water sector to develop their
competences Project Management Implementation.
Participants in the PMI-course (though coming from different water institutions)
are facing two main challenges:
1. To undertake the project with a tight constraint on resources (manpower, budget, time)
and good project management will be highly important to ensure the project runs with the
resources available. Evaluation of risk has to be built into each of the phases of the project.
2. To ensure that the quality of the development is of an appropriate standard to ensure
that the outputs and deliverables will ultimately be ‘fit for purpose’.
PMI training can significantly reduce projects risks because certified professionals have the
knowledge to overcome obstacles and complete projects on time and under budget.
As the Training and Development Directorate(TDGD) is mandated (under water law
no.3/2002) to provide trainings and capacity building for all service providers in the
Palestinian water sector, TDGD is organizing a PMI training . Project
This training
course
implementation
can be referred to as a process whereby “project inputs are converted to project
outputs as set out in the project framework”. The process involves a series of
activities, which need to be planned, operated and controlled, and which will
inevitably involve the utilization of resources. The management of these activities
is fundamental to a supervisor or monitor so that the project can be completed on
time and at cost consistent with the project plan. Thus the TDGD Of PWA is intending
to carry a PMI training course which aims at enhancing the abilities and capabilities of Its
employees in addition to employees in the water sector to gain the following:

a foundation of basic project management knowledge and skills which can be used
to build further project management related competencies.
