This special issue of the Project Management Journal presents a collection of six articles on managing projects in Africa. Providing a window into the important project activity taking place there, these articles extend both the empirical and theoretical understanding of the African project context and contribute to improving practice. Each article makes a unique contribution to either our understanding of the African project context or project management in general, and sometimes to both. After an introduction to the African project context at the start of the 21st century, the articles explore: three different countries as well as multinational projects; for-profit, public sector, and development aid projects; infrastructure and information and communication technology; project governance as well as project management; and partnering challenges.

Implementing projects in developing countries involves resolving numerous challenges related to working in instable environments incapable of supporting many key project activities. This paper examines the key drivers and an implementation model that can help project managers successfully manage large- and medium-sized projects implemented in developing countries. In doing so, it identifies the PMBOK Guide's definitions of project and project management; it defines the seven key forces now driving project investments within developing countries. It discusses the potential and real barriers--including systemic, economic, financial, governance, authority, culture, technology, and human resources--that usually disrupt efforts to implement project in developing countries. It also lists the nine benefits of assessing the capacity of the local context to support project and project management activities. It then outlines a six-phase model for managing projects in developing countries, detailing each phase's purpose and its primary activities.

Projects of very different natures are continuously changing the world in which we live. Project management offers the right instruments to solve the multitude of problems that arise during the life of a project from its beginning to its completion. No space satellite could be designed, no computer program developed, no skyscraper built, and no company organized efficiently without PM. In honor of the 65th birthday of R.W. Gutsch, 29 authors from 16 countries have contributed to this publication. It covers the fundamentals of project management as well as the PM techniques and software, PM organization and human factors and applications in effectively managing projects. The contributions demonstrate the enormous progress that has taken place in PM within the past years in a language and style which is understandable for project managers in both industrialized and developing countries.
