We have managed projects at field and office level for both business and NGOs, taking into account time and resource limitations, logistics, precise budgeting and financial planning alongside management and motivation of staff and contractors. We have led projects through their design and assessment, planning, implementation and evaluation, incorporating both strategic direction and hands-on day to day project management.

Our project management services relate to both field and office based projects, and our experience in managing individuals and groups spans cultural and socio-economic groups, education levels and working styles.

The following brief case studies give some indication of where we have carried out project management work in practice.

• Setting up a non governmental organisation, the Mpingo Conservation Project, in Kilwa, Tanzania, 2004. This was a process that began with a UK based research project that has become a fully functioning field-based NGO that is working to support the communities of Kilwa District in Participatory Forest Management (PFM). Setting up the organisation involved careful planning, budgeting, logistics, vehicle and supplies procurement and relationship building, and Kilimanyika continues to offer support and advice to this project, including through partners Environment Africa Trust.
  
  
• Land Tenure Project with the Oikos Institute, Tanzania, 2005-07. Working with Maasai communities in the context of a community-based natural resources management (CBNRM) programme, project work was primarily related to village land use planning, accessing title deeds, awareness raising for sustainable use of natural resources for local communities and training of village game scouts in better management and protection of fauna and flora on village land.
  
  
• Development of a wildlife corridor in Manyara, Tanzania, 2004. This involved working with the Tanzania Land Conservation Trust in association with AWF to manage a community liaison project with Maasai communities and district government in order to develop a both a wildlife corridor and grazing area on Manyara Ranch. The process involved considerable relationship building and conflict resolution.
  
  
• Management and diversification of a sisal estate in Arusha, Tanzania, 2002-03. Working with the owners BCW Holdings Ltd., taking on the management of over 200 staff and working with them on a wide array of projects simultaneously, both long and short term. Projects included delivering a water supply to neighbouring villages, setting up an electric fence and related infrastructure and the management of a fully productive sisal farm, from harvesting, transporting, producing and marketing the finished product. The process required considerable logistics and planning.
