MODEV

Les inscriptions pour accéder aux bourses sont closes depuis le 28 mars, mais la possibilité de candidater au MASTER MODEV en tant que "non-boursier" reste ouverte jusqu'au 1er juillet 2022. 

This multi-disciplinary training combines economics, finance, and management. It develops autonomy in the management of sustainable development projects. 

This 8-months training course has the following objectives:

• To reinforce the knowledge, know-how and interpersonal skills of the participants to make them actors of change (entrepreneurs within their institutions);
• To contribute to the emergence of a network of development professionals.

The overall aim is to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the public and private project leaders in the South who contribute to transitions towards sustainable development.

The target audience is public and private employees from French-speaking developing countries with responsibilities in government ministries, local authorities, businesses, financial institutions, and NGOs, who wish to develop their expertise.

AFD executives, professors from UCA (School of Economics and School of Management), and professionals teach the Masters class.

L’AFD accorde des bourses à certains des étudiants sélectionnés (25 prévues en 2022-23).  

ATTENTION : par bourse, on entend ici une prise en charge partielle par l’AFD de frais de vie en France. Les étudiants boursiers ne sont pas exemptés de frais d’inscription et l’AFD ne prend pas en charge leurs vols. Il revient à leurs employeurs de le faire.

Les inscriptions sont closes.

The master's degree in Project Management for Development (MODEV) is part of the "Development Economics" course at the School of Economics at the University of Clermont Auvergne (UCA). 

It was created in 2007 by the Agence Francaise de Development (French Development Agency) training department, the CEFEB (now the Training Division of AFD's Department for the Valorization of Knowledge on Sustainable Development (VAL) and called AFD Campus). CERDI-École d'Économie (UCA) is a historical partner and delivers this master's degree.

In 2019, AFD Campus wanted to develop this master and broaden the audience trained in methods and project management. 

FERDI is now associated with AFD Campus and the School of Economics of UCA for the implementation of the master by welcoming students in France, the organization of study trips, and the animation of the network of former MODEV graduates.

Also, FERDI is developing, in collaboration with AFD Campus, a distance learning module dedicated to project management to enable people to acquire the skills in the implementation and monitoring of sustainable development projects.

Created in 1963, and transformed into a master's degree in 2006, this course has already nearly 2,800 alumni, including more than 400 since its approval as a master's degree. It has created a network of alumni who now hold positions of responsibility in government ministries, local authorities, businesses, financial institutions, and NGOs in countries of the South, mainly in sub-Saharan Africa and the Indian Ocean. 

The diversity of origins - West Africa, Maghreb, Indian Ocean and Pacific Ocean, and profiles - engineers, researchers, analysts, program managers, heads of services in private companies and public organizations, bring great richness to this master's program during which exchanges are unique and stimulating.

Most of the face-to-face teaching takes place in Marseille, in the AFD offices. Three weeks are scheduled in Clermont-Ferrand.
