Learning Curves: Post-Completion Sustainability of ADB-Assisted Projects
Asian Development Bank | February 2011
Abstract
The basic idea of sustainability is that a project should be designed to produce continuous flow of outputs, services, and outcomes over its useful economic life. Project results should be sustainable even when there are several risks to outputs and outcomes. Historically, evidence on the sustainability of development assistance projects and programs has been limited. Like other development agencies, the Asian Development Bank (ADB) has become increasingly concerned with the sustainability of the activities it supports, how to complement the attention now given to the achievement of development outcomes, and also with accountability in the use of resources.
