Project Life Cycle and Sustainability Projects Group Assembly, 26 September 2013

“Sustainability is the capacity of the project to

continue its existence and functioning

beyond its end. The project results are used

and exploited continuously. Sustainability of

results implies use and exploitation of results in

the long term.”
