In a significant move to professionalize project management in Uganda, HEBO has established itself as a pivotal force in project management professional development across East Africa, notably in Uganda, Tanzania, and Malawi. As the Ugandan government’s recent push to professionalize project management, this agenda aligns perfectly with HEBO’s mission.
This was particularly evident at the PMI Uganda Chapter, National Project Management Conference in Kampala, where Deputy Speaker Mr. Thomas Tayebwa emphasized the importance of global standard certifications for project managers in government projects, spotlighting the need for project managers to meet and uphold high ethical and professional standards during project execution.
In Uganda, the landscape of project management is evolving rapidly, reflecting significant growth and challenges across various sectors such as construction, IT, healthcare, and government administration. Despite the economic strides, many projects still face issues related to delays, budget overruns, and scope creep, primarily due to a lack of standardized project management practices.
This situation underscores the critical need for professional project management methodologies and certified professionals who can ensure projects are delivered efficiently and effectively. The government’s initiative to mandate certifications is a response to these challenges, aiming to elevate the quality and success rate of projects across the nation.
HEBO, recognized as a leading training provider, has made significant strides not only in Uganda but across East Africa. At the heart of these efforts is the facilitation of certifications that set a global standard in project management.
HEBO Uganda’s Country Lead, Mr. Ronald Ssekajja, highlighted these contributions during the panel discussion on ‘Incorporating the PMP Success Story into the Labor Market,’ underlining the transformative power of certifications like PMP® (Project Management Professional) and other related disciplines.
Mr. Ronald Ssekajja, brings a wealth of experience and insight into the evolving field of project management. During the panel discussion, he articulated the critical role that certifications such as PMP® play in enhancing project accountability and delivery.
Ronald’s perspective is grounded in his extensive field experience, where he has observed firsthand the positive impact of integrating PMP® standards into the labor market. His advocacy for PMP® certification is not just about meeting a formal requirement but about elevating the profession to meet global standards.
Ronald’s leadership is pivotal in driving the organization’s mission to enhance project management skills, ensuring that project managers are not only certified but are also equipped with the knowledge and tools necessary to drive projects to successful completion.
