People Power: HR Policies That Make or Break ​a Project

Successful project delivery depends not only on technical planning and resources, but also on the people systems that guide how project teams are built, supported, and managed. While HR policies are often viewed through an institutional lens, they play an equally critical role in shaping project performance. In project environments where timelines are tight, roles are fluid, and accountability is heightened, HR policies can either enable implementation or quietly undermine it. When HR policies are aligned with project goals, they create conditions for high-performing teams by ensuring timely recruitment, clear expectations, fair performance management, and project-appropriate incentives.

This webinar explores HR policies specifically as they relate to project implementation, equipping participants to identify, analyze, and address the policy gaps that commonly slow down or sabotage projects. Participants will learn how HR can move from being perceived as a procedural hurdle to becoming a strategic partner that strengthens project delivery.

The webinar is organized by the Good Grant Practice Virtual Academy (GGP-VA), a capacity-strengthening initiative seeking to enhance grant management, governance, and institutional sustainability across African research and non-research institutions. The implementation of GGP-VA is led by the African Population and Health Center (APHRC) with support from the Gates Foundation.
