About

The Scriptoria Project Management Centre (PMC)® is a purpose-built cloud-based project management system designed to streamline the planning, execution, and reporting of international development and research projects. Developed by practitioners for practitioners, the PMC® has been rigorously tested and continuously refined through real-world application in projects funded by leading global donors, including the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

With powerful tracking, analytics, and collaboration features, PMC® empowers UN agencies and their implementing partners to deliver high-impact, results-driven programs efficiently.
