1. Recommendation:
Project implementation should be extended a minimum of 12, preferably 18 months (project completion date as December 2020) considering:

A maximum 18-months extension will be considered by the project management unit in order to finalize all remaining activities and ensure longer-term sustainability of the project. The steering committee has also taken a decision for the extension in January 2018 meeting.
