Project management

Future Earth is contracted to manage projects and programs focused on sustainable development in cities, climate change M&A, economic inclusion (disability and gender) and green rural/agric employment programs for a variety of clients.

We manage both the research and the implementation of programs, covering design and delivery, participatory and desk-based research, capacity building and engagement, technology development in Africa, Asia and Europe.

We create the right enabling environment through engaging with key stakeholders, backed with good sensible organisation to ensure projects and programs achieve their outcomes and outputs on time and on budget.

For example:

Led 9 projects as Technical Lead for Economic Inclusion and Innovation at Leonard Cheshire covering Uganda, South Africa, India, Bangladesh, Philippines and China. Managing the portfolio of >£4 million from private, public and private sector donors and the in-country implementing organisations and LC delivery teams.

Project monitoring visit to Moyo and Adjumani, northern Uganda where fish smoking, bag making and embroidery enable people to live fulfilled, independent lives.

Advancing the Integration of Disaster Risk, Environment and Climate Chanage
For the Overseas Development Institute (ODI), we managed a large international program with a team of 14 research staff to integrate Disaster Risk Reduction, the environment and climate change into all AusAID (DFAT) programs. FE managed the contractual negotiations, budget, logistics, research, communications and the delivery of the outputs for ODI and the Australian Government.
The work was based on case studies in 6 SE Asian countries using a combination of desk-based and in-country consultation in support of NAPAs and CAPs in these countries.
