Special Project - Knowledge Donation Pilot Project

Your Chance to Make a Difference!

PMI KPC Knowledge Donation Pilot Project

The PMI-KPC has initiated a knowledge donation initiative in collaboration with the PMI International Development Community of Practice (ID CoP). This unique initiative aims to bridge the gap between the resource-constrained social sector organizations and the professional project managers with the goal of working toward project success. Under this initiative, professional project managers will donate their project management expertise and time to local community efforts “on volunteer basis”. The target is to use the knowledge donation of PMI-KPC volunteers to improve the lives of people through successful project management.

To field test the KDI, PMI-KPC has launched a pilot project. During the pilot project, PMI-KPC will provide the following services to 5 to 10 social organizations located in Karachi city:

• Project management professionals to conduct the introductory training workshop on Project Management for Social Sector Organizations (one workshop per organization for a total of 25 participants)
• CD containing the training material
• Project management volunteer matchmaking (i.e. volunteer/s to work on the project management activity requested by the organization) – subject to the availability of appropriate volunteers.
• Monitoring and Evaluation of the volunteer engagement with the participating organization

Cost to Participating Organization

PMI-KPC and its volunteers will provide the abovementioned services to the participating organizations free of cost.
