We believe sustainable development is proven when aid donors return to measure the long-term sustainability of their projects 2+ years after full exit. We searched donor databases of Norway, Finland, Sweden, and Denmark, and the Netherlands to identify “ex-post evaluations” of public projects. These evaluate the durability of project outcomes and impacts.

There were lessons from all 16 ex-posts found among the 5 countries' publicly-funded evaluations, including 1) the search process, 2) how ex-post evaluations are defined and categorized, 3) what was done well by each country’s ex-posts, 4) sustainability-related findings and lessons, and 5) what M&E experts in each country can improve on ex-post evaluation practices.
