Implementation

The aim of Phase Five—Implement is to translate the Final Project Plan into action. It is the typically the longest phase as it requires the time and resource to meet the project objectives. Tailored Communication on Progress templates have been designed to assist city's report on their progress periodically throughout implementation. At the completion of Phase Five—Implement, a city benefits from the successful project implementation. Often, a city will enable the project to continue to be implemented by relevant authorities or organizations with adequate resources who are able to foster ongoing implementation. This transition enables the project to be spun off from the Local Secretariat and into a permanent organization within the city following the initial incubation phase within the Cities Programme.
