Publication Date	1988

Abstract	The compendium summarizes the results of an internal survey carried out by the Development Assistance Committee's Expert Group on Aid Evaluation. The main purpose of the compendium is to review the experience of donors with the design and implementation of sustainable development programs. The focus is on specific development programs assisted by donors and the factors that bear on the long-term sustainability of the benefits that flow from these programs. It necessarily concentrates on projects that have experienced sustainability problems and should not be interpreted as implying that the generality of aid projects are unsustainable. The aim is to promote an understanding of the range of factors that impinge on the achievement of sustainability as evident from evaluations. Each sustainability factor is discussed in a summary manner.
