Conclusion The foundation for sustainability is to ensure that strong structures are in place and building their capacities on leadership, governance, effective communication and management of groups, resource mobilization including fundraising, skills in management and finances is very important. Implementing agencies be the catalyst, the one to get things started, but the “terms of reference” between the catalyst and the community should be clearly identified from the outset: role, jurisdiction, clear “entry to exit” strategy and timeframe, and the emphasis should focus on enabling the CBOs to take responsibility for the sustainability of the project.
