Donate a Project Management or Leadership Book to Africa

Education is the key to Africa’s project management development. We can not produce quality project managers in the future if we do not invest in their today’s education.

So one of the plans of the Project Management for Africa Initiative is to use “education” to help create more awareness, promote and advance the best practice of project management in Africa.

How Do We Plan to Use Education?

You can not achieve anything in education if you do not have good educational resources such as books, journals and other learning materials.

Therefore, the Initiative is seeking for the support of project management organisations around the world who can donate free books and publications on project management and leadership. Our purpose is to freely distribute these books and learning materials to students, teachers and to some attendees of our PM events in Africa.

The Differences Between a Project Management Certification and a Training Certificate

It has come to my notice that most persons who are interested or are practising in the field of project management (PM) tend to confuse or interchange a PM training certificate with PM certification. They are not the same thing and all present and future project management practitioners should understand the difference. Also, most PM trainers, tutors and coach have been at fault at these as they have often failed to inform their trainees or students that what they would receive at the end of their training is a PM training certificate and NOT a PM certification.

Innovative Use of #SocialMedia for Social Good in Nigeria

Social media is playing a critical role in terms of communication, collaboration and flow of information around the world. A lot of organizations, including those in Nigeria, are leveraging social media to connect with youths, entrepreneurs, project managers, business leaders, mentors, and various group of people for a common purpose. They are using social media for social good.

Social media was also greatly used in sensitizing Nigerians about the recent ebola virus outbreak which in turn helped in curbing and/or controlling the spread of the virus. And we encourage more persons and organizations to think of innovative ways of leveraging social media for social good in Nigeria and across the globe.
