The purpose of the implementation stage is to:

  • Deliver the results, achieve the purpose(s) and contribute effectively to the overall objective of the project;
  • Manage the available resources efficiently; and
  • Monitor and report on progress.

The implementation stage of the project cycle is in many ways the most critical as it is during this stage that planned benefits are delivered. All other stages in the cycle are, therefore, essentially supportive of the implementation stage.

Implementation usually involves contracts for studies, technical assistance, works or supplies. Progress is assessed (i.e. monitored) to enable adjustment to changing circumstances.

The EC Delegations are directly responsible for the technical implementation (approval of working plan, monitoring, evaluation, etc.).
