Great ideas need great execution. This practical workshop walks you through the essentials of designing projects that actually work, monitoring progress that keeps you on track, and delivering results that matter. You’ll learn how to turn a strong vision into a structured plan—with tools that support your work rather than stifle it 🚀🤝.

Why attend?

What you will learn 📚
By the end of the session, participants will be able to:

• Design project frameworks using logical models and theory of change approaches 🧠
• Develop monitoring systems to track progress and adapt strategies 🔎
• Apply results-based management principles to youth-led initiatives ✅
