About this book

Sustainability is crucial for all institutions involved in international development. This work offers practical guidance on how to achieve it. There are three main kinds of sustainability and a section of the book is devoted to each: making the impact of the organization's work sustainable; ensuring continuity of funding; and making the organization itself sustainable to remain viable. Achieving all three creates a virtuous spiral. The book takes an organizational rather than a technical or impact-based approach to sustainability. It is based on extensive international research and offers many practical examples of sustainability and the difficult trade-offs involved.

Contents

What does sustainable development mean for NGDOs?; interventions for sustainable local impact; framework and indicators; options, strategies and trade-offs in resource mobilization; mobilizing non-financial resources; commercialization; finance from other sources; strategic choices for sustaining financial resources; regeneration through learning; regeneration through change; regeneration through leadership; the leader's legacy - creating a virtuous spiral.
