Perhaps it is not until the whole thing is over that you really know what to do. The funding might have ended, but the project has just been implemented and now is the time when the real benefits of the project is realized, and the long-term effects should start to show. Unfortunately, the design of many projects stops with the dissemination of the project. Ideally the design of the project should include the uptake and embedding of the output in a relevant and sustainable organisation. The end of the project is just the beginning of ongoing and iterative development solutions, thus leading to the front end of another development process.
Part of embedding the project in the receiving organisation is to make sure to establish ways to get user feedback and evaluate your solutions, and to transfer these into further developments in the years following the project. To test new solutions and try out other approaches, to dedicate time to support and learn from each other in order to continuously evolve the project.
An important part of this is also to evaluate the project in a more systemic perspective, and to establish whether the project is actually sustainable ecologically, socially, financially, etc. or whether it has any adverse consequences.
