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 managementen-USrevitalize situationsdonor supportpassed since developedThesis
