Abstract
Despite the great number of studies on project management performance in Ethiopia, however, little is known about the assessment of the project closeout stage. Thus, this study aimed to assess one among successfully executed projects in Ethiopia- 'Beautifying Sheger'. The study was conducted using quantitative and qualitative analysis to investigate the project closeout stage with a sample of 15 project employees taken from the population of actively engaged in the process as a sampling frame. Pre-tested questionnaires and emailed questions were used to collect primary data and analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Science SPSS. Contrasting to the common form of project intervention in the country – an effective project acceptance verification practice in the 'Sheger' beautification process was found. Apart from that, the administrative closeout factors show a significant leap. However, the contractual closeout tasks disregarded some of the employees. Finally, in order to enhance the project closeout throughout the country's project interventions, the findings suggested that benchmarking such successful projects and further exploratory studies were viewed as being an effective strategy to solve the closeout problem.
