Abstract
Many decades have passed since developed countries have started to donate the third world
developing countries and societies but poverty still continue to nag at the millions of the poor in
these countries. Studies show that donor support for development, emergency rehabilitation,
and humanitarian aid dies soon after the celebration of outcome achieved by these donor
supports. The problem is sustainability problem. This research study was born from the heartfelt
need to know the sustainability beyond donor support of the chosen case study project, at the
project deliverable/outcomes level. The architecture of the study is a mixed method of enquiry.
The enquiries were designed from the project predefined sustainability indicators; organized
and contextualized in the sustainability frame work designed by USAID SF. A purposive
sampling of key informants was chosen for interview, to explore the realities of the project
sustainability issues. Further respondents with very close acquaintances were chosen for
quantitative survey using Snowball sampling method using recommendations of purposively
selected respondents. The inquiries were designed to ask the existence of structures,
deliverables and outcomes brought by the project and then their effectiveness. Factors affecting
or supporting sustainability were also inquired and summarized. The overall result is to show
that the project deliverables and outcomes recommended at out set for sustainability were
found to be virtually not sustained and requires the institutions and other stakeholders’ effort to
revitalize the situations. Finally, it is recommended that other beneficiary institutions should
check their position in this regard. The academia is hereby also called for further research &
inclusion of sustainability management in the study of project management
