Introduction
This event builds on learning from the implementation (2017-19) of the Public Policy and Analysis Management (PPAM) and Project Cycle Management (PCM) Training programme of the  Caribbean Development Bank (CDB) in its 19 Borrowing Member Countries (BMCs), to further promote PCM tools and approaches for implementing initiatives, delivering commitments to citizens and achieving development outcomes.  “Project Cycle Management - a Cornerstone of Implementation and Delivery” will explore significant emergent themes from the project life cycle identified during 400 days of PCM capacity strengthening engagement with senior Government officials in the 19 BMCs.  Effective application of PCM tools improves the design, coordination, implementation and evaluation of project, programme, sectoral and national plans and initiatives, which substantively contributes to improving delivery of development results across the Region.

Conference aim
To raise awareness of the value of Project Cycle Management tools in converting policy into delivery of results, and underscore the role of leadership in empowering Government officials trained by the programme to implement PCM tools in all government development programmes.
