Sustainability of the project. This project demonstrates a commitment to sustainability by building upon previous efforts in the field of accounting and auditing and ensuring continuity beyond the project's duration. By carefully planning targeted events and establishing networks and communities of practice, we aim to support the sustainability of learning activities and have a long-term impact. With 20 years of experience, successful certifications programs (such as TIAPS and PACT), expanding standalone initiatives and topics into new certification trainings and multiyear projects (e. g. asset management and anti-corruption certification training and EPSAM project), strong partnerships, and regional experts involved, this comprehensive intervention is designed to achieve sustainable results and progress. While the prospects for sustainability may be uncertain due to political will and staff turnover, the project addresses these challenges by focusing on capacity development, knowledge management, and leadership. Country specific interventions and domestic knowledge sharing are integral to the design, allowing for accurate information collection and effective training activities that address urgent needs of the target groups. This approach ensures that knowledge is retained and multiplied within and beyond the region. Additionally, the project facilitates ongoing discussions with target groups to identify capacity development needs, explore synergies between completed, ongoing, and future actions, and prevent any potential overlap of activities. Such strategic approach strengthens the foundation for continued collaboration and progress, ensuring that efforts are coordinated and aligned to maximize impact in the field of public finance.
Sustainability of the project. The NGO Fund will facilitate the creation of a network (within the NGO sector, NGOs and civil society, local municipalities, government institutions and donor partners) for further cooperation. Information channels established while implementing the NGO Fund will serve for further enhancement of partnerships. Strengthened capacities will form the background for more effective operation of the NGOs in public processes. The long-term sustainability of the NGO Fund depends on the ability of grantee organisations to develop new and diverse sources of funding. Some positive accomplishments have taken place in Lithuania in this field recently: compared with a virtually 70 percent or even more dependence on private foreign funders a few years ago, in the last two years Lithuanian NGOs have managed to raise at least 50 percent of their income from other sources – local businesses, individuals, and by providing services. There will be a separate measure under the NGO Fund on increasing financial independence of the NGOs. The financial situation necessitates NGOs to work with their stakeholders more regularly and efficiently in order to get their ideological support as well as technical assistance and/or pro xxxx help. The increased number of and improved relations with stakeholders would also improve awareness of NGOs which eventually would lead to their improved opportunities to either sell their services or fund-raise. The sustainability at the sub-project level will be ensured by the following means: • during the sub-project selection, the applicants will have to provide information on how they plan to ensure sustainability of sub-project’s results after its completion. • the sub-project implementation agreement will include relevant provisions on the sustainability of the sub-project’s results. It will require that the final beneficiary ensure that project’s results (intellectual property created, supplies or services provided) shall be in use for the aims of the sub-project for a 5 years period.
Sustainability of the project. 1. The Unit shall ensure sustainability of the effects of the Project, in accordance with Article 71 of Regulation 1303/2013, subject to Section 9.2.
