| The
word "sustainability" is important in development assistance. (The word
is not found in most dictionaries). It refers to the "ability" of something
to be "sustained" (carried on) after outside support is withdrawn. For
the community that builds a water supply, the repairing, cleaning and using
the pump after it is constructed, is the desire. |
.. |
For an external
donor, it is the continuation of the project or its outputs after the donor
withdraws. For you, the mobilizer, it is the continuation of the community
strengthening social process after you move on. For environmentalists and
ecologists, sustainabilty requires that an activity can be sustained (eg
biologically) by the physical environment, that non-renewable resources
are not used up. |
