The Project Coordination Unit (PCU) develops and implements methods, standards, and tools for managing projects and monitors project management performance.
Our expertise in managing projects and monitoring, evaluating, learning from and assessing impacts helps staff to identify and develop projects and initiatives.
Our advice, guidance and recommendations cover all phases of projects—from project planning to start-up, implementation, monitoring and reporting, evaluation and learning, through closeout.
We build staff and partner capacities in project management and provide project and Initiative staff with advice and recommendations to continuously improve.
The Digital & Data team (D&D) creates, enhances, and maintains the digital tools comprising the Performance and Results Management System (PRMS). With experience in numerous CGIAR reporting processes, D&D’s team of developers, designers, and software product managers follow a three-step process to create user-friendly and fit-for-purpose digital tools:
Discovery: understanding user needs and crafting an optimal user experience to produce a comprehensive list of requirements or user stories and mockups.
Delivery: technical development and delivery of the digital product for testing and production.
Experience: providing technical support to users to address issues in a timely manner and consider where future improvements may be made.
A list of reference documents that underpin CGIAR’s Technical Reporting approach and process.
