Description: This module was developed as part of an online learning experience to help WWF partners and staff learn how to apply Step 2 (Design) of WWF’s Standards for Conservation Project and Programme Management (WWF Programme Standards or PPMS). These standards closely parallel the Open Standards but are tailored to WWF. The manuals are well-developed and thorough though they predate some newer concepts and approaches in the Open Standards (such as addressing human wellbeing or climate change). Full citation: WWF.
