Differing Views of Sustainability
Sustainability:
“Development that meets the needs of the present without compromising
the ability of future generations to meet their own needs”--World Commission on Environment and Development, 1987
As used in humanitarian aid:
Sustainability = Economic sustainability;
OR
Sustainability = Project lasts for a long-time after the agency has left the country
