In the development process of a community development there are plethora of factors responsible for development. But most important among them are the following three.
1- Source of resources or ownership of the resources.
2- Time gap between the investment & results of the interventions
3- Focus of Interventions (Target Beneficiary of the development).
These can be treated as three dimensions. Each dimension can further be divided into 5 stages on a five point scale.
Dimension-I: Source of resources or ownership of the resources.
a- Central Government/ State government/ Donors
b- District Level/ MPLAD/ MLALAD/ ZP
c- Village resources
d- Community Resources/ Family
e- Individual/ Personal Resorces
Dimension-II: Time gap between the investment & results of the interventions
a- Immediate or with in days
b- With in a year
c- Long Term/ 1-10 years
d- With in Life
e- Beyond Life ( Moksha)
Dimension-III: Focus of Interventions (Target Beneficiary of the development).
a- Individual
b- Family
c- Community
d- Village
e- District
f- Country
If the development intervention on all the a’s of the three dimension, the intervention will have the least sustainability. Where as if it targets on all f’s of these three dimension, the development intervention will be the most sustainable. The mobilization strategies may be at any combination of these three dimension. Accordingly the sustainability of the interventions will settle.
