Sustainability
14
Sustainability is about whether or not WASH
services and good hygiene practices continue to
work and deliver benefits over time. No time
limit is set on those continued services,
behaviour changes and outcomes. In other words,
sustainability is about lasting benefits achieved
through the continued enjoyment of water supply
and sanitation services and hygiene
practices. From Sustainability Framework 2011,
WaterAid, based on definition by Len Abrams
15
What Makes a Program Sustainable?

• Relevant program resulting in full user
  participation
• AT selected by users
• Contribution by users
• Quality work
• Plan for life cycle cost maintenance, repair,
  replacement cost (with needs of poorest
  considered)
• Environmental considerations
• Monitoring evaluation
• External support

16
Recommendations

• Start first with community engagement
  education, build demand, figure out process WASH
  committee
• find out what the communities want, how life
  cycle costs might be handled, opportunities for
  small business, training
• Examine all options, work with communities to
  develop plans, make decisions
• train and implement
• Jointly develop a monitoring and evaluation plan
