Abstract

Most programs' ultimate goal is to achieve significant long-term benefits, or results that can be maintained and/or improved after the livelihood support organization has left. In theory, this means indefinite sustainability, but in practice, it can be helpful to project out enough years after exit (project completion) to be able to make some predictions about long-term change long enough to illustrate whether the project appears to be sustainable. Considering resource constraints and multiple livelihood assistance needs, many livelihood support organizations are increasingly realizing that they cannot fund and sustain any one initiative continuously. We should be able to quit responsibly once we've met our objectives, sure that our livelihood support results will not be jeopardized. To accomplish this, we must prepare for long-term sustainability as we design and implement programs.
