The Alan Harpham Award

The Alan Harpham Award recognizes individuals who have an outstanding performance using PM4NGOS tools and methodologies (such as Project Management for Development Professionals Guide or Program Management for Development Professionals Guide) to promote the professionalization of project and program management in the international development sector.

The award is named in honor of Alan Harpham, a global citizen dedicated to making his sector and community a better place.

Apart from his professional career, Alan was dedicated to serving his community and managed to
further contribute to the discipline of project management and community by writing several books and leading articles.

His ability to embrace diversity of thought acted as a catalyst for improvement and change.

The award was created to honor individuals with distinguished actions in promoting the professionalization of project management and thereby encourage others in the developmen sector community. Alan Harpham Award recipient will receive a certificate recognizing the awardee, a lifetime honorary membership to PM4NGOs community and recognition and publication of his or her work on the PM4NGOs social network.
