GPARLP: Sustainability
Sustainability of systems:
 GFIS, PIMS ongoing and well mainstreamed
 SDIS less well integrated and needs further
attention to be sustainable
 ODS (LP) and BFC well functioning and
mainstreamed

completed (outputs achieved); sustainability
depends on future staff transfers and
institutionalization of enhanced capacity
