Work Package 1 focuses on ensuring the effective coordination, monitoring, and quality assurance of all project activities. Utilizing SMARTSHEET as the project management tool, the lead country will oversee the project from inception to completion, providing a platform for information sharing and document management. A comprehensive project handbook, including the proposal, budget, and financial regulations, will be distributed to all participants before the kick-off meeting to outline the work plan and main activities. The coordinator and intellectual output leaders will monitor the project’s progress quarterly, with additional quality assurance meetings held every six months. Regular updates and an online task list will facilitate continuous monitoring and timely adjustments. Quality assurance will involve creating a management workbook detailing deliverables and measurement criteria, with semi-annual evaluations conducted through peer reviews. Monitoring activities will include on-site visits, training sessions, and online meetings, ensuring thorough oversight of the project’s implementation. Each country’s project coordinator will prepare reports based on these evaluations, ensuring that all activities meet quality standards and contribute to the project’s overall success.
