dc.description.abstract
This paper describes a methodological approach for a sustainability assessment
of development cooperation projects. Between the scientific disciplines there
is no agreement on the term of “sustainability”. Whereas the definition of
sustainability within the context of development cooperation frequently
highlights the long-term success of an intervention, the United Nations herald
the inclusion of social, economic and environmental aspects. This paper
proposes to bridge this gap by providing an analytical framework that uses
nine impact category groups based on thematic priorities of sustainable
development derived from the Sustainable Development Goals. Additionally, the
long-term effectiveness of a project is taken into consideration. These impact
category groups comprise the analytical framework, which is investigated by
the Life Cycle Assessment and an indicator-based analysis. These data are
obtained through empirical social research and the LCA inventory. The
underlying concept is based on life cycle thinking. Taking up a multi-cycle
model this study establishes two life cycles: first, the project management
life cycle; and, second, the life cycle of a project’s innovation. The
innovation’s life cycle is identified to have the greatest impact on the
target region and the local people and is consequently of primary interest.
This methodological approach enables an ex-post sustainability assessment of a
built innovation of a development cooperation project and is tested on a case
study on Improved Cooking Stoves in Bangladesh. View Full-Text
