Why It Matters
In Malawi today, projects drive development, but too often they fail due to poor planning, mismanagement, and lack of accountability. The ACPM Handbook addresses these challenges by:
- Equipping project managers with tools and principles for successful project delivery.
- Building trust with donors, government, and communities through transparency and compliance.
- Establishing credible, inclusive, and sustainable development practices that benefit all Malawians.
