| dc.description.abstract | Sustainability is the management and coordination of environment, financial social
and economic resources to ensure success and continuity. Social, environmental and
economic demands are considered the three pillars of sustainability. There is a wealth
of knowledge on the process of improving an organizations sustainability built by the
experience of many people who have worked over many years to improve the
sustainability of many different organizations. The main insight from this collective
experience is that an organizations level of commitment to sustainability is the most
important factor of success. International Training and Education Centre for Health ITECH
Kenya operates in Kenya as a non-governmental organization with its
headquarters in the United States of America Seattle. The organization is funded
through the health resources services agency mechanism and the project is monitored
through the center for disease control. This means that the organization has only one
source of funding for its project in Kenya. This project sought to investigate the
sustainability strategies that the organization in Kenya adopts to ensure it is attractive
for alternative sources of funds and the challenges it encounters in doing so. The data
for this study was collected by use of an interview guide and content analysis used to
analyse the data. The key findings of the study were that the organization has adopted
various sustainability strategies to ensure sustainability among them, paradigm shift in
programming, key partnerships with other like-minded organizations, enhanced
human resource compensation and reward systems. There are other strategies that the
organization could improve on and enhance as found from the research. Further
research is recommended to study the effectiveness of the different strategies
employed for the organization | en_US |
