The document discusses project sustainability, emphasizing its importance in creating projects that continue to generate benefits over time while balancing environmental, social, and economic aspects. Key characteristics of sustainable projects include adaptability, implementability, scalability, extensibility, maintainability, and manageability, alongside essential factors such as institutional stability and community participation. Ultimately, a sustainable project should be realistic, feasible, and open to changes for long-term success.

2. PROJECT SUSTAINABILITY
 Introduction
 Meaning of project sustainability Project sustainability is
the goal of creating and successfully launching a project
that is capable of continuing to generate benefits for an
extended period of time.
 Sustainability in the project profession is an approach to
business that balances the environmental, social,
economic aspects of project-based working to meet the
current needs of stakeholders without compromising or
overburdening future generations
 project is called sustainable when a continued utilization of
its results can be assured after the completion of the
project

3. Characteristics of Project Sustainability
 Adaptability
A sustainable project should therefore be open and able to adopt or
fit to any changes which occurs in environment or system for its
sustainability.
 Implement Ability
A project should be realistic, feasible, attainable, and above all
implementable in order for it to be sustainable in the future/ market
place.
 Scalability
The ability of a project to accommodate addition to its capacity or
capabilities and expands its scope of operation. It also deals with its
ability to increase in size, volume, quantity, or scope to accommodate
unforeseen additional components or features of the project.

4. Characteristics of Project Sustainability
 Extensibility
 This is the ability to extend the project through the addition of new
functions or modification of existing functions to effect change while
minimizing existing project functions.
 Maintainability
 A project is sustainable when defects can be corrected, it is able to
meet new requirements, future maintenance is made easier, and it
can cope with the changing environment
 Manageability
 A sustainable project should have an organizational structure
specifying roles and responsibilities and duties. This will facilitate the
management of the project and enhance its sustainability.

5. Factors for project sustainability
Institutional stability
Continued operation and maintenance of project
facilities
Continuous flow of net benefits
Maintenance of environmental stability
Equitable sharing and distribution of project benefits
Continued community participation
