Distance Education Modernization Project

A sound strategy for sustainability must be agreed. The experience of the DEMP provides a good lesson on the importance of developing and operationalizing sound sustainability strategies. The project paved the way for the establishment of an innovative national online learning system, but the lack of a clear long-term plan was one reason why the concept eventually failed. If the best long-term strategy for sustainability is difficult to specify at the outset, specific support and additional time should be allowed in the project design to prepare and operationalize an agreed sustainability plan.
