Resumen
Development Cooperation is a global endeavour that aims to improve the lives of the world population. Projects play a significant role in this endeavour, and they follow an internationally accepted set of objectives, the Sustainable Development Goals, and sufficient elements to track progress in Human Development. Over fiftyper cent of global investment in Official Development Assistance is implemented in the form of projects. This is a joint effort in which a multitude of stakeholders participate and interact at all levels, from international agencies to grassroots organizations. Development Cooperation projects take place in different countries,share some common characteristics, and are actually achieving their purpose Project Management in Development Cooperation makes extensive use of the Logical Framework Approach as a pivotal and almost universal tool for designing, planning, monitoring, and evaluating projects. However, this approach has limitations, and a professionalised Project Management approach could address some of the challenges that project managers face in these projects. This chapter discusses these elements and offers a proposal for some ways to improve project management in these key projects so that building a better world can continue.
