PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR THE TRAINING PROGRAM FOR VULNERABLE YOUTHS IN THE GRAND’ANSE DEPARTMENT





ABSTRACT 

The department of Grand'Anse is nicknamed the granary of Haiti because of the fact that it is one of the departments producing the most used foodstuffs in the country. By its geographical position, it is also one of the areas that is most exposed to natural disasters. 

The latest, Hurricane Mathieu, which took place in October 2016, destroyed most of the existing structures and plantations. Many people have had to leave their homes and their fields to migrate either to the capital or to the Dominican Republic. 

Since then, institutions have managed to recover by forming partnerships with the private sector or with national or international organizations. It is in this context that the International Labor Organization (ILO) has signed an agreement with the National Institute of Vocational Training (INFP) to accompany them in their recovery process. 

The training project for 680 young people is one of many projects which the ILO has in partnership with training centers that are part of the national vocational training system with the aim of strengthening their management capacities while giving the necessary tools to young people in vulnerable situations to improve their chances of finding a decent job. 

The work presented here was developed with the objective of contributing to this capacity building process, mainly the one from the Jérémie Training Center which is one of the six vocational training centers that exist for the whole Grand'Anse department. 

The parliament’s education committee has seriously questioned their management capacity. The general objective for the project is to develop a project management plan for the youth training project, enabling the Jérémie Training Center to effectively manage all resources and maintain stakeholder engagement while respecting the donor's quality principles. 

The specific objectives are to create a project charter that authorizes the project and gives the authority to apply organizational resources to the project to produce the project management plan, to develop a scope management plan defining requirements and expectations for this project, to create a schedule management plan to ensure that the work will be finished on time, to create a cost management plan for assigning costs to work packages, to develop a quality management plan outlining the minimum criteria for stakeholders’ acceptance, to create a project resource management plan to allocate resources to work packages in an efficient manner according to national and international labor laws and conventions, to develop a communication management plan to ensure the timely production, transfer, monitoring, and management of program information to stakeholders, to create a sustainable risk management plan that identifies risks and risk responses for risks directly related to the project, to develop a procurement management plan to identify and award contracts to suppliers who can purchase sustainable goods and services, and to create a stakeholder management plan to ensure the appropriate identification, categorization, and participation of program stakeholders.

 The methodology used for the research was analytical. The main sources used to collect information were the sixth edition of the Project Management Knowledge Guide (PMBOK® Guide) and interviews with members of the INFP, the EPJ, and the main donor xiii in this case, which is the ILO. 

The information was reviewed, verified, and analyzed before selecting each tool used to develop the project management plan for this professional training project. Throughout this research, the PMBOK® Guide (sixth edition) was the main tool. 

It provided a new approach and a new methodology to the project team to develop this project management plan that will serve not only for this training project, but also for the other projects that this center will have to perform. Based on this methodology, a model for each of the processes responding to the different objectives of this work has been achieved. 

These results were achieved thanks to the support and collaboration of each of the stakeholders in this project. The project management plan allowed them to improve their way of doing things, by providing them with a methodology that they could adapt to the liking of the EPJ projects. 

It is recommended that the project team receive training on tools necessary for the institution and also on subjects such as children's rights and others to enable them to better meet the requirements of donors. This will allow them not only to grow as a training center but also to better serve the population.
