“To maximise impact we need evidence on what works, for whom, why, and under what circumstances.” - OECD. OECD/DAC Network on Development Evaluation

“…for many, sustainability has become a “buzzword”, an injunction to assess the likelihood that the effects of an intervention will continue after it is completed..” - Michael Leroy, 2021, Research Reviews for Media Development Practitioners.

There is no common understanding about the definition of “viability”, which goes under several names, including “media sustainability”, “financial/ economic sustainability”, “business viability”, or “media resilience”. - by MDIF
