• Sustainable development is defined as “development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs” (Brundtland Commission, 1983). If we apply this concept to our own organisation, it means that we should ensure that our current activities as an NGO will not place a heavy burden on our future staff, beneficiaries and stakeholders but instead prepare them to address problems that may arise in the future so that they can continue to accomplish our organization’s mission.
