Development Project Management Institute

DPMI is a three-week professional training program that prepares you for a career in managing international development projects.

What is Development Project Management?

Development is the process of finding creative solutions to chronic problems of hunger, poverty, disease, joblessness, and powerlessness. Our DPMI program focuses on creating programs, facilitating stakeholder engagement, and strategic partnering to meet current development challenges. Learn more about our curriculum.

Our Three Week Program

We host our three-week intensive DPMI training every January in Monterey, CA and every May in Monterey, CA and Washington, D.C. The next training will be May 20 - June 7, 2013 (DPMI Monterey) and May 27 - June 14 (DPMI DC).

Sponsored by our Master of Public Administration (MPA) program, DPMI is open to graduate students, current practitioners, career-changers, and a limited number of gifted undergraduates.

Earn Your Development Project Management Certificate

You will earn a development project management certificate under the guidance of Monterey Institute faculty, who are internationally-renowned development practitioners. At the end of our DPMI program, you’ll have a solid mastery of a wide variety of concepts, tools, and technologies that you’ll use for current or future employers in the international development field.
