The Consolidation phase will enable the target groups to take stock of their experiences, learn about the experimentation, and draw up decisions to be taken at national level on the relevant adaptation of policies and strategies.

This Phase is structured around three components:   

  • The finalisation of COMUS operational activities, the “wrapping up” of the project which involves: completion and cataloguing of previewed project outputs/documents, and; taking stock of the experience primarily through a process of (self-) evaluation.
  • Capitalisation. Presenting and disseminating the results of COMUS activity, reporting on the process of learning and implementation.  
  • Future perspective. The stimulation of ongoing application of the COMUS approach and roll out, transfer of good practice.
