IOM Project Handbook

Description: The new IOM Project Handbook has been designed to guide IOM colleagues through all stages of the IOM project cycle, from the conceptualization of a project through to evaluation.

The Handbook consolidates all aspects of the project cycle into one easy-to-use handbook and summarizes procedures for project development, review, endorsement, activation, implementation, management, monitoring, reporting, and evaluation into six modules. Each module introduces a number of important changes to the existing IOM project development and management cycle; establishes or updates tools, templates, and procedures used in the project cycle to reflect the realities of IOM’s work today, and provides guidance on how to capture key project information in order to facilitate future reporting on data and best practices.

The Handbook attempts to balance the legitimate institutional need for standardization in all of these areas while encouraging the unique levels of innovation and flexibility that have been the hallmarks of IOM’s success throughout its history.
