Abstract: Project governance practices play a central role in the performance and success of initiatives, yet their contribution to the appropriation and sustainability of values remains underexplored, particularly in the infrastructure sector. This research, focused on La Grande Alliance (LGA) in the Baie-James region, investigates the effectiveness of governance practices through a mixed-methods approach combining semi-structured interviews, evaluation reports, and stakeholder surveys. The findings highlight the critical role of participative management at every stage of the process. During the definition of values, regular consultation, delegation of responsibilities, transparency, and decentralized leadership foster their appropriation. During the awareness and integration phases, collaborative leadership strengthens stakeholder engagement. Finally, in the monitoring and evaluation phase, ethical and collaborative decision-making ensures not only the appropriation of values but also their sustainability, encompassing aspects such as durability, socio-economic impact, and ecosystem protection. In conclusion, effective governance practices establish a participatory and coherent structure, enabling stakeholders to appropriate project outcomes while ensuring the long-term benefits of infrastructure initiatives in the region.
