word "sustainability" is important in development assistance. (The word
is not found in most dictionaries). It refers to the "ability" of something

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

and ecologists, sustainabilty requires that an activity can be sustained
(eg biologically) by the physical environment, that non-renewable resources
are not used up. |
