Abstract

Limited evidence and less comprehensive approach to post‐project sustainability evaluation has raised the need for incorporating complexity concepts in project sustainability evaluation. This study aims to develop a project sustainability evaluation framework by using a complex systems approach and to apply the framework to a microfinance project in Indonesia. This qualitative research is based on thematic analysis. The components of the proposed framework involve mission, input, process, output, performance, governance (including stakeholders, subsystems and feedback mechanisms) and the environment of the projects. Results show that the framework is able to provide comprehensive information including project sustainability dimensions and routinization, the possibility to detect ineffective or undesirable practices, project governance, its performance, the persistent practice and changes. The application to the microfinance project reveals that the microfinance project can achieve sustainability without subsidies by achieving financial goals while maintaining social missions. Implications for project sustainability and microfinance are discussed.
使用复杂系统方法进行项目后可持续性评估:印度尼西亚循环贷款基金(小额信贷)项目的框架和应用
有限的证据和不太全面的项目后可持续性评估方法提出了将复杂性概念纳入项目可持续性评估的必要性。本研究旨在利用复杂系统方法制定一个项目可持续性评价框架,并将该框架应用于印度尼西亚的一个小额信贷项目。本定性研究以专题分析为基础。建议框架的组成部分涉及项目的任务、投入、过程、产出、绩效、治理(包括涉众、子系统和反馈机制)和环境。结果表明,该框架能够提供全面的信息,包括项目可持续性维度和常规化、检测无效或不希望的实践的可能性、项目治理、其绩效、持续的实践和变化。对小额信贷项目的应用表明,小额信贷项目可以在实现财务目标的同时保持社会使命,在没有补贴的情况下实现可持续性。讨论了对项目可持续性和小额信贷的影响。

期刊介绍: Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
