The Manitoba Council for International Cooperation (MCIC), in partnership with the Spur Change Program, is pleased to offer nonprofits, charities, social enterprises, and other SMOs a training on Results-Based Management (RBM).

This training, facilitated by Darren C Brown, is a practical hands-on experience for participants to strengthen their capacities in RBM. This training presents an intersectional approach, taking into consideration gender equality and SDGs themes. The training relies on group work and collectively practicing different RBM tools (theory of change, situational analysis, logic model, PMF, etc.) through a case study.

✅ Prerequisite

To ensure everyone can participate in the group work, RBM 101 Practicing Results-Based Management is a prerequisite to attend. Your spot is not confirmed until you have submitted your RBM 101 certificate to Nicolas Pena ([email protected]) by September 11. Here is the link to complete the approximately 3 hour self-paced online training: https://spurchangeresource.ca/en/training/rbm101/

📚 Objectives of RBM 201 :
