What is sustainability?
The Rotary Foundation defines sustainability
as the capacity for maintaining long-term
outcomes to serve the ongoing need of a
community after grant funds have been
expended.
Sustainability and VTTs
The Foundation expects that, as a result of
receiving a global grant, vocational training
team participants will contribute to new and
innovative methods in their professional
fields.
Vocational training team members also
increase impact by providing or receiving
training to ensure that knowledge is passed
on to the greatest number of individuals.
What is measurability?
To be able to document the sustainability
of a global grant, The Rotary Foundation
relies on vocational training team
members to report on the impact of their
activities.
