Sustainable projects

---

The sustainability of GAM asbl projects is mainly ensured through the direct involvement of local committees throughout the life-cycle of the project and even after its completion. This participation can take different forms: financing of activities (or part of activities) related to the project; manpower for carrying out certain activities; monitoring and follow-up of the successful completion of the project; ensuring the continuity of the project in the future - among others.​

The role of the project managers

---

The activation, follow-up, and support of project managers throughout the project life cycle are essential to achieving successful outcomes. Project managers are facilitators and experts with solid experience in development cooperation. They are familiar with the culture, traditions as well as the socio-economic and political realities of the beneficiaries of the GAM asbl projects.​
