The Sustainability Plan- Resource Guide

Developing a Sustainability Plan in a Project Proposal

Sustainability has become a buzzword in the field of philanthropy. More and more donors and organizations put a lot of emphasis on this topic. When talking about sustainability in general, most people only think of environmental sustainability. In most calls for proposals, the donor asks for a sustainability plan that entails much more and is focused on the sustainability of the project itself. Many NGOs regard a sustainability plan more as an afterthought than a primary concern, but having a solid sustainability plan is actually very important.

This resource guide to ‘The Sustainability Plan’ is a must-have for everyone: proposal writers, NGO managers, organizations large and small, development professionals and local, international NGOs and more.

This guide aims to:

  • Provide a holistic understanding of sustainability and its purpose in a project plan.
  • Assist international development workers in applying for grants from institutional donors, including private foundations, government embassies, and development agencies.
  • Increase the quality of grant applications for projects around the world.

The E-book includes:

  • Developing a Sustainability Plan in a Project Proposal
  • What are the parts of the project- sustainability
  • How to develop a sustainability plan
