Project Management
Project management involves the planning, execution, and oversight of large-scale infrastructure projects such as water and sanitation projects, waste management, airports, ports, roads, bridges, utilities, and public facilities. It encompasses a range of activities including project scoping, budgeting, scheduling, risk management, and quality control to ensure projects are completed on time, within budget, and to the specified standards. Effective infrastructure project management requires coordination among various stakeholders, including government agencies, contractors, engineers, and the community, to address challenges and achieve project goals. By managing resources efficiently and maintaining clear communication, infrastructure project management helps build and maintain essential facilities that support economic growth and improve quality of life.
