This session will explore the critical components of a successful handoff from the project phase to site ownership, with a focus on managing the transition effectively. As the project moves from implementation to maintenance and ongoing operations, responsibility shifts from external contractors to local support teams or internal resources. Addressing the challenges during this transition—particularly in resource management, knowledge transfer, and ensuring both contractors and internal teams are fully prepared—is vital for continued success. Participants will gain insights into how to manage the handoff process, ensuring smooth collaboration between external contractors and internal teams, and that systems remain operational and sustainable. In this session, you will learn how to:

• Ensure smooth transitions from global management to local site ownership, with clear responsibilities for ongoing maintenance and operations.
• Optimize resource distribution and align internal teams for effective day-to-day management post-project.
• Prepare local teams for operational autonomy, ensuring systems and processes are in place for continued success after the transition.
