Description
Sustainability is about more than securing funding, it’s about building the capacity to maintain a program and its benefits over time. In this microlearning course, learners are introduced to the eight components of program sustainability, a research-informed framework that supports long-term program success. Through a brief, self-paced learning experience, participants will explore the key elements that contribute to lasting impact, including program adaptation, organizational capacity, program evaluation, communication, environmental support, partnerships, funding stability, and strategic planning.
