What kind of activities are emphasized during the sustenance and strengthening phase of a project?

During the sustenance and strengthening phase of a project, training and capacity building are crucial activities emphasized to ensure the longevity and effectiveness of the project. This phase focuses on enhancing the skills, knowledge, and capabilities of community members and local stakeholders to manage and sustain the project independently.

By providing training, individuals are equipped with the necessary tools to address ongoing challenges and maintain health interventions. Capacity building fosters ownership among community members, empowering them to take initiative and create sustainable changes within their environment. This training can include health education, resource management, and strategy development, which are essential for long-term impact and success.

In contrast, the initialization of new programs typically occurs in earlier project phases when establishing foundational activities is crucial. Immediate health interventions may relate to urgent needs addressed prior to sustained efforts. Community assessments are generally conducted to identify needs or issues before interventions are implemented rather than during the established sustainability phase.
