our services across the life-cycle of projects
The Project Cycle Management describes the management activities and decision-making procedures used during the life-cycle of a project (including key tasks, roles and responsibilities, key documents and decision options). Pinto Luvent consults donor organizations in each stage of the project cycle.
We ensure that projects are relevant to an agreed strategy and to the real problems of target groups. Projects should support the overarching policy objectives of the development partners. Moreover, we ensure that projects are feasible and benefits generated by projects are likely to be sustainable.

Programming
During the Programming phase, the situation at national and sector level is analysed to identify problems, constraints and opportunities which cooperation could address. This involves a review of socio-economic indicators and of national and donor priorities. The purpose is to identify the main objectives and sector priorities for co-operation and thus to provide a relevant and feasible programming framework within which programmes and projects can be identified and prepared. For each of these priorities, strategies that take account of the lessons of past experience are formulated.
