Background <\/strong><\/span>
It is estimated that around 64% of donor-funded projects fail to achieve their intended objectives according to a 2012 study done by the Mckinsey group and Devex. The reasons for high failure rate according to Project management institute (PMI) are down to three major strategic bottlenecks; structural\/contextual issues, 2) institutional\/sustainability problems and 3) managerial\/organization problems. Yet with many development interventions in Rwanda and other developing countries preferring project approach, the case for prudent project management couldn\u2019t be stronger. <\/span>
