Project?

Project Managers?

Project managers use project management to implement various tools, techniques, and approaches. They have the skills, knowledge, and experience to motivate teams to meet a project’s needs and achieve its desired outcome.

What is a Project?

Skills

According to the Project Management Institute

- Using predictive, agile and hybrid approaches to determine which way of working is best for each project.- Motivating people and teams through all phases of a successful project.

A project is a series of structured tasks, activities, and deliverables that are carefully executed to achieve a desired outcome. They are temporary efforts to create value through unique products, services and processes. Each aspect of a project must go through the phases of the project lifecycle before reaching an end goal. This lifecycle allows project managers to execute each phase of their project effectively. It enables them to plan each task and activity meticulously, ensuring the highest chances of a project’s success.

Impact

Highlighting the success of a project and its impact on overall strategic organizational goals.

Define where are you going?

Defining the vision for a project is fundamentally about understanding the business problem that you're trying to solve. The most successful project leaders are the ones who can see past the symptoms of the problem and determine the deeper root causes. And then they could explain their vision in terms that had clear meaning for the business. One way to think about defining the vision for a project is to ask yourself, "When we're done, "how will we know that we were successful?"

The questions and things to work on while defining

• Root cause analysis.
• How to use the five whys?
• How to use the fishbone diagram?
• How to use brainstorming?
• How to use affinity diagrams?
• Document scope with a project charter.

Create an Implementation Timeline

Secure Funding and Resources

Conduct a Needs Assessment

Develop an Intervention Strategy

Conduct a Needs Assessment

Develop an Intervention Strategy

Perform a needs assessment to identify the unique challenges and barriers faced by the target audience in relation to nutrition. This involves gathering information about their knowledge, attitudes, behaviors, and environmental factors that influence their food choices and dietary habits. By understanding their specific needs, you can develop interventions that address these challenges effectively.

By understanding the specific needs and priorities, the intervention strategy can be tailored to effectively address the identified issues. An effective intervention strategy should be based on evidence-based interventions that have been proven to be successful in addressing similar nutrition-related issues. This may include interventions such as nutrition education programs, cooking classes, community gardens, or policy changes to improve access to healthy foods.

Secure Funding and Resources

Create an Implementation of a Nutrition Project

Identify Potential Funding Sourcesthat align with the goals and objectives of your nutrition project. This may include government grants, private foundations, corporate sponsorships

Provide context for your topic

Establish a timeline with specific milestones and deadlines to ensure a systematic and organized implementation of your nutrition project.

Prepare a Comprehensive Budget

Identify Project Costs

• Developing a Curriculum or Action Plan.
• Engaging Stakeholders and Partners
• Evaluating Impact and Effectiveness

Research and Estimate Costs

Consider Funding Restrictions and Guidelines

Track and Monitor Expenses

Monitoring and Evaluation: Ensuring Success

Regularly evaluate and monitor the progress and outcomes of your nutrition project to assess its effectiveness and make any necessary adjustments or improvements.

1. Tracking Progress and Outcomes: This involves monitoring key indicators and metrics to assess whether the project is achieving its intended goals. 2. Obtaining Feedback from Participants: Collect feedback from participants in your nutrition project to gain valuable insights and improve its delivery. This can be done through surveys, interviews, or focus group discussions.

School Feeding, a critical safety net for children education and nutrition

In Jordan, following the approval of the National School Feeding Strategy (2021-2025) formulated with WFP support in 2021, WFP focused in 2022 on its operationalization as an increasingly important national safety net programme for both vulnerable Jordanian and refugee children and a source of income generation for vulnerable women, Jordanian food producers, and suppliers.

In Jordan, WFP has been promoting the healthy/ central kitchens and the home-grown school feeding models (HGSF) across the region as multi-pronged interventions with benefits, beyond education and nutrition. By buying food locally from smallholder farmers, HGSF build their longer-term resilience, encourage crop diversification and strengthen local agriculture. In Jordan, WFP established the HGSF, benefiting nearly 90,000 vulnerable Jordanian and refugee students and generating income for 300 local smallholder farmers and 300 vulnerable women. The model uses blockchain technology to trace production, ensuring superior and safer fruit and vegetable options for children. In Lebanon, WFP will pilot a de-centralized HGSF model in 2023, linking school kitchens to smallholder farmers.

Using Digital Technologies in Food Fortification for Improved Nutrition Outcomes

Understanding the potential for digital technologies to strengthen food-system interventions for food fortification for improved nutrition outcomes.

1. Review previous and ongoing use of digital technologies focusing on food-system interventions for food fortification and identify potential areas for future integration of digital technologies in these interventions for improved nutrition outcomes. 2. Ascertain the purpose of and lessons from using digital technologies in other systems/sectors - including health, agriculture, social protection, etc. - and determine how these lessons may be applied to food-system interventions for food fortification for improved nutrition outcomes. 3. Identify and document the synergies and disconnects along the food value chain between food system interventions focusing on food for improved nutrition outcomes. 4. Use of big data and new technological innovations to support decision-making and sustainability of food-system interventions for food fortification to improve nutrition outcomes. 5. Ascertain an ethics-driven approach to food-system nutrition interventions for food fortification, incorporating key legislation, principles, and practices, to support appropriate data and information collection, use, management, governance, and security. 6. Review evidence on the ability of digital technologies to influence consumers’ understanding and perspectives on the quality of foods, their nutritional value, and health impacts, and suggest ways to shape consumers’ food behaviors to lead to improved nutrition outcomes.

Conclusion

The importance of thoughtful and comprehensive strategies to address nutritional needs within our community. By considering key factors such as education, accessibility, and sustainability, we aim to create projects that enhance the nutritional well-being of individuals and contribute to our community's overall health and resilience. Through collaborative efforts and a commitment to continuous evaluation, we are confident that these initiatives will make a meaningful impact on the nutritional landscape. Let's move forward with determination, recognizing that our collective efforts can pave the way for a healthier, more nourished future.
