It is important to keep the finalisation of the project in mind already when starting the project, since there is quite a lot to do in the end. Plan to finalise your activities in good time before the project end date so that you will have time to compile the needed information for your final report and payment claim.

How will your project live on?

Despite the limited life-span of a project, it is crucial to consider the sustainability of the project activities and achievements. A successful project creates practices, models, solutions, networks or knowledge that live on after the project ends even without project funding. The sustainability of the results must be taken into account when planning a project. Towards the end of the project it should be evident how the sustainability of the results should be taken care of.

The final report and payment claim

At the end of your project a final report should be submitted with the last progress report and payment claim. The final report should cover the whole project implementation period and not just the last reporting period. It should also cover the results your project have reached, and how these results will live on.
