Project Management and Planning in Research

This topic applies project management principles to the research process for Zambian tertiary students. It covers developing a research work plan, timeline, and budget, as illustrated in sample proposals. Students learn to allocate resources, manage time effectively, and anticipate logistical requirements for data collection and analysis. Essential for university students undertaking theses or capstone projects, this skill ensures research is completed efficiently and on schedule. It is directly applicable to professional research roles in Zambia's health and development sectors, where project management is a key competency.
