other projects in which they are involved, both sides will better 
manage to achieve high level of success in future projects. 
It is also evident that such well prepared and well conducted 
projects benefit not only the recipient country, but also the 
donor organisations and specially private sector, enabling future 
cooperation, exchange of knowledge’s and opening new 
horizons.
