| dc.description.abstract | It is estimated that Ghana loses up to $25 million annually via unfinished projects. This amount is equivalent to 667 additional three-unit classroom blocks per year which would accommodate an estimated 70,000 students (Williams, 2017). At the same time there are projects which take too long to close even though these projects would have been better identified and marked as not-to-be-pursued. The aim of this study is to assess project closing procedures adopted by Ghana Ports and Harbours Authority (GPHA) in closing projects. Specifically, the thesis seeks to look at best practices for project closure process, to document project closure procedures adopted by GPHA, and to compare project closure procedures of GPHA with the best practice. The research methodology adopted for this study is qualitative, whiles data was collected through interview of project managers and supervisors at GPHA. Deductive approach to data analysis resulted in a number of funding’s. Documentation requirements, complete drawings; final project report, provision of people trained on operating product of facility, customer training, and project audit were some of challenges with project closing procedures adopted by GPHA. The procedures most appropriate for closing projects at GPHA emphasizes on communication between the different parts of the project like steering committee, managers, developers and analysts. Comparison of project closing procedures of GPHA compare with best practices indicates that GPHA meet best practices in closing project looking at this specific aspect | en_US |
