Planning for programme sustainability is a key contributor to health and development, especially in low-income and middle-income countries. A consensus evidence-based operational framework would facilitate policy and research advances in understanding, measuring, and improving programme sustainability. We did a systematic review of both conceptual frameworks and empirical studies about health-programme sustainability. On the basis of the review, we propose that sustainable health programmes are regarded as complex systems that encompass programmes, health problems targeted by programmes, and programmes' drivers or key stakeholders, all of which interact dynamically within any given context. We show the usefulness of this approach with case studies drawn from the authors' experience.

“…[34][35][36][37][38] Sustainability depends on numerous factors that impact the formation and maintenance of CBPR partnerships for which a considerable literature exists.

“…More often than not, this requires some level of funding and staff. 30,33,35,36,38 While the Detroit and New York Centers have sustained their partnerships as Centers, all three Centers have been able to sustain specific programs, relationships and capacity to conduct CBPR, and to a lesser extent policy changes. Each of the Centers has obtained subsequent funding for CBPR projects that built upon other projects sponsored by the URCs.…”

Challenges and Facilitating Factors in Sustaining Community-Based Participatory Research Partnerships: Lessons Learned from the Detroit, New York City and Seattle Urban Research Centers

et al. 2006

In order to address the social, physical and economic determinants of urban health, researchers, public health practitioners, and community members have turned to more comprehensive and participatory approaches to research and interventions. One such approach, community-based participatory research (CBPR) in public health, has received considerable attention over the past decade, and numerous publications have described theoretical underpinnings, values, principles and practice. Issues related to the long-term sustainability of partnerships and activities have received limited attention. The purpose of this article is to examine the experiences and lessons learned from three Urban Research Centers (URCs) in Detroit, New York City, and Seattle, which were initially established in 1995 with core support from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The experience of these Centers after core funding ceased in 2003 provides a case study to identify the challenges and facilitating factors for sustaining partnerships. We examine three broad dimensions of CBPR partnerships that we consider important for sustainability: (1) sustaining relationships and commitments among the partners involved; (2) sustaining the knowledge, capacity and values generated from the partnership; and (3) sustaining funding, staff, programs, policy changes and the partnership itself. We discuss the challenges faced by the URCs in sustaining these dimensions and the strategies used to overcome these challenges. Based on these experiences, we offer recommendations for: strategies that partnerships may find useful in sustaining their CBPR efforts; ways in which a Center mechanism can be useful for promoting sustainability; and considerations for funders of CBPR to increase sustainability.Israel, Lichtenstein, and McGranaghan are with the

“…Social cohesion is present in communities where people try to help each other (Sampson, 1991). Evashwick and Ory (2003) implemented a successful communitybased health program. They attributed the success of their program largely to the participation and commitment of the community members who all shared the same goal of helping to meet the needs of the elderly.…”

To my family who were always there to support me emotionally, spiritually, and financially. There were times when I did not call or you never got to see me because of the excuse of work, yet you guys never gave up on me and were always there to welcome me with open arms. Thanks all of you. I could never let any of you down and that motivated me to finish this task, so this is dedicated to all of you.To my dear friends and new found family Jean Perriott, Wilma Wright, Kevin Kester, and Sid Benyoucef. The four of you supported and encouraged me all along.Jean, thanks for the Saturday and Sunday outings to relax my mind. Kevin and Sid, those IV late nights when I needed an escape were very important to me. Thanks for being there Buds.To my friend Donna Statler for all those e-mails and phone calls to encourage me and see how I was doing, thanks a million. To my friend Leonardo Pott for his e-mails from afar sending encouraging words, thanks for always being a friend.To Shelbourn Souazo for his assistance in piloting the instrument and making it appropriate to administer, thanks to you. To the villagers of the community where this study was conducted, thanks for making yourself available and providing me with information. To the staff of the Career Development Center at the University of Louisville, thanks for your daily words of encouragement. It made a world of difference.To God Almighty who gave me the strength, wisdom, and endurance to see this to the end, thank you heavenly Father for your blessings. And to all those people who helped me in some way through a kind action or word, thank you very much. This dissertation is an exploratory study of the indicators of receptivity that communities portray towards international service-learning programs. Historically, programs such as service learning programs choose communities and other working partners based on the needs of these communities. International service-learning on the other hand because of the high cost of travel to another country and accommodation needs to minimize the risk of having unsupportive partners. In this light, communities should be assessed to ensure that they are receptive to international service-learning programs.The study was conducted in a community that displayed a high level of receptivity to the University of Louisville International Service Learning Program. It focused on five areas of community receptivity namely: having a shared mission with the University, community involvement, community attachment, community cohesion, and social capital. A qualitative methodology of in-depth interviews was conducted with community leaders.Results were generally consistent across all five areas studied. The interviews revealed that the community had a shared mission with the University of Louisville to VI have a successful program, the residents were very involved in the affairs of the community and they were very much attached to it. Results also indicated that community cohesion is important to the community and they displayed a high level of ...
