Case studies of project sustainability

the long version

This report summarizes the discussions and conclusions of an Economic Development Institute seminar. The purpose of the seminar was to introduce the concept of project sustainability to senior government officials, to present an overview of project sustainability experience in Asia, and to assess the importance of the concept in Bangladesh. It is hoped that the present publication will contribute to the very limited empirical data currently available on this topic, and that the case studies prepared for the seminar will encourage other research and training institutions to prepare similar kinds of cases.
