TANZANIA: AFRICAN countries have been encouraged to continue investing in various development projects to achieve Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
In Africa, the successful execution of projects is critical not only just for business profitability but also for broader community and economic benefits.
Speaking to journalists over the weekend, Co-Founder and Director of Training Services at HEBO Group Ms Bulla Hekeno said countries like Tanzania, Uganda, Malawi, Kenya, and others are heavily investing in projects that aim to improve infrastructure, health, education, and various other sectors.
She said HEBO Group is a Tanzanian company that currently, has started to provide training outside of Tanzania to ensure that professionals get the right training to run their projects.
She said skilled project management was crucial and will remain a basis for achieving SDGs and that was why they embarked in providing training.

In a few years, they have trained over a thousand managers in various sectors. She, however, said the success of these projects heavily relies on the skills and effectiveness of the project teams and managers leading them.
“The importance of having the right project skills training from reputable providers cannot be overstated. We need training programmes that integrate global best practices with local insights and this will significantly enhance the capabilities of project managers and their teams,” she said.
“Good project management practices enable teams to create detailed plans, allocate resources appropriately, and monitor progress to ensure that any arising issues are addressed promptly,” she added.
