The Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG); has officially launched a Project Management Manual for Electrical Projects (PMMEP) and a Code of Conduct for Third Party Contractors to guide the discharge of their functions.<\/p>\n
The two documents were launched as part of the annual review meeting of the Network Project Directorate in the Western Region.<\/p>\n
In a speech read on his behalf, the Managing Director of the Electricity Company of Ghana, Mr. Robert Dwamena, praised the Network Projects Directorate for the initiative.<\/p>\n
He noted that the launch of the Project Management Manual, inter alia, is to help ECG deliver ongoing and future planned projects to internationally accepted standards and ensure effective project delivery.<\/p>\n
\u201cPresently, there are documents or manuals in fragmented forms in the care of different departments or regions upon which project teams depend for implementing projects. This has led to a situation where most ongoing projects are not being implemented in accordance with best Project Management Practices. The development of the Project Management Manual for Electrical Projects (PMMEP), will therefore fill the huge vacuum created by the lack of harmonized approved procedures for corporate use, ensure harmonization of all existing procedures as well as the amalgamation of existing documents\/manuals into a single document\u201d, Mr. Dwamena noted.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Project Management Manual for Electrical Projects (PMMEP)<\/strong><\/p>\n This manual will serve as a \u201cCode of Practice\u201d or a \u201cHandbook\u201d for all Sub transmission or Distribution Network Project Management Teams in ECG.<\/p>\n It will essentially serve as a one stop consulting document or a handbook for all staff assigned the responsibility of managing electrical projects.<\/p>\n
