At Engineers Without Borders, we continuously develop various tools and guidelines for use in our projects, which we, our partners and other interested parties make use of in the work to meet the World Goals.
After a good and refreshing process, with the involvement of both volunteers, project managers, the secretariat and the board, IUG’s project management manual has been given new life and is ready to be used in all the exciting projects.
Here you can find guidance through all the phases of the project, inspiration for how the project should be managed together with a partner, as well as the administrative and financial management. The project management manual is on IUG’s shared drive (requires an IUG email for access).
ATTENTION: Do not lock, edit or comment in the online documents. Download instead and save locally when using the tools.
In August 2017, a devastating mudslide occurred in the capital Freetown, Sierra Leone, as a result of heavy rainfall. It went hard beyond the slums in the suburbs, where over 1,000 people perished in the water masses.
In this connection, IUG has carried out citizen-driven climate adaptations to secure the area against future incidents.
The potentially destructive effects of climate change have become inevitable.
This climate resiliency project in Freetown, Sierra Leone, running from 2021-2022 with a budget of DKK 1.1 million, took its starting point from EWB-DK’s engagement in recovery interventions following the twin disaster in 2017 in suburban Freetown, and the climate resilience project initiatives taken since 2020.
Prior to IUG’s climate adaptation and water sector project in the Kenema district of Sierra Leone, a participatory risk assessment of 10 villages was carried out together with the local partner and local community.
Together with the two local partners SEND Sierra Leone and World Hope International Sierra Leone, IUG has prepared a guide for digging canals in villages as part of the work to prepare the villages for climate change.
IUG, together with local partner SEND Sierra Leone, has developed this toolkit that can be used to engage the local community in decisions about electricity investments for the benefit of the whole community.
The methods address i.a. questions related to electricity consumption both in households and to productive use of energy in companies.
IUG, in collaboration with Emergency Architecture & Human Rights (EAHR), has developed a learning game around Core Humanitarian Standards.
The game is relevant to NGOs, organizations and individuals who want to become better at governing humanitarian needs, crises and dilemmas with transparency and accountability in accordance with the core humanitarian standards.
It is obvious to play the game together with partners in the South, at the workplace or in the project group at home.
