P3GQA Launches “Empower” Campaign, Expanding Access to P3GP Certification and Bridging Global Certification Gaps

The Project Programme and Portfolio Governance Qualification Authority (P3GQA) is proud to announce the launch of the Empower Campaign, an initiative dedicated to making the P3GP® (Project, Programme & Portfolio Governance Professional) certification more accessible to professionals across different economic brackets. Rooted in principles of inclusivity, equity, and fairness, the campaign reflects P3GQA’s unwavering commitment to excellence in project, programme, and portfolio governance education on a global scale.

Building on comprehensive research and data from the United Nations and the World Bank’s economic classifications, the Empower Campaign offers P3GP® courses at an adjusted price, tailored to the purchasing power of candidates in Low-Income Countries (LICs), Lower-Middle-Income Countries (LMCs), and select Upper-Middle-Income Countries (UMCs).

“I believe everyone should have the opportunity to access education and excel in project, programme, and portfolio governance. The Empower Campaign makes this possible.”P3GQA President Ross Garland

P3GQA Managing Director Alberto Osman added:

“The Empower Campaign is our response to the call for greater inclusivity in professional development. By considering the economic realities of candidates from diverse regions, we aim to empower professionals from every corner of the globe to achieve project, programme, and portfolio governance excellence.”


Why Project, Programme, and Portfolio Governance Matters for Economic Growth

Effective governance in project, programme, and portfolio management is a driving force for economic growth, ensuring that initiatives align with national development strategies, optimize resource allocation, and enhance the successful delivery of essential projects. By strengthening governance practices, economies can achieve greater efficiency, accountability, and long-term stability.
