Execution

© Randy Feuerstein

Project execution is the final stage of the GEF project cycle, and is the result of all key decisions and plans made during the project development process. Project execution begins when the team responsible for managing the project (the Project Management Unit) is nominated and recruited, and the spending of GEF funds on project activities begins.
