Sustainability
We want the effects of our work to be long-lasting. In order to achieve this projects are locally managed by our partners to ensure they are appropriate for the many different cultural settings in which Sightsavers works and that local, legal and administrative systems are complied with.
Our long term intention is that partners will eventually develop their own capacity to fully manage projects and develop sustainable services - enabling Sightsavers to direct its support to new programmes in different geographic areas.
