Exercise: Developing a finance plan for O&M activities

Projects often fail to operate sustainably because the financing of O&M activities was not considered in the budget planning. With the aim of preventing this mistake:

   Identify any additional O&M costs that may arise and include these in your budget plan. Collect your results on worksheet 3 of handout 7.1.

   Guiding questions:

  • How much energy is necessary (costs)?
  • Is there an additional salary?
  • Do you need additional material for O&M?
  • Etc. you will find more guiding questions in handout 7.1
  • Finally, go back to the budget plan of your adaptation project and include the identified additional costs.
