Organisation and Programme Sustainability

Organisation and Programme Sustainability – Sustainability Tool

At SDS, we are committed to fostering sustainable change in the communities we serve, emphasising the long-term impact of our initiatives. The innovative SDS Sustainability Tool effectively assesses and enhances the capacities of local NGOs and INGOs.

Over the past 11 years, our analysis of donor-funded projects has underscored the importance of building organisational capacity to ensure the continuity of impactful initiatives. Our Sustainability Tool identifies organisational strengths and weaknesses, enabling us to provide tailored support that ensures not only successful program launches but also their longevity. By investing in the sustainability of local NGOs and INGOs, we empower communities, create job opportunities, and ensure that impactful programs endure beyond funding.

We understand the challenges donors face when collaborating with local entities, particularly regarding organisational structure. The SDS Sustainability Tool streamlines this process, offering actionable insights that reduce administrative overhead while maximising project effectiveness. This proprietary assessment can be employed as a standalone service or enhance existing initiatives, rigorously evaluating program parameters per the Terms of Reference (TORs) and assessing whether the necessary infrastructure and ecosystem for ongoing success have been established. Furthermore, it assists NGOs and INGOs in optimising current programs and proves invaluable during the design phase.
