It also looked into the management practices, its prospects and challenges affecting the sustainability of the projects. It suggested other factors that affected its sustainability. Moreover, impacts of these projects were also identified. Using the qualitative research method, the researchers were able to assess the capability of the People’s Organizations (PO), Non-Government Organizations (NGO) and Local Government Units (LGU) and were able to recognize gaps in the implementation of these projects. Data revealed that the management capabilities of the POs are significant in the sustainability of these projects; however their capabilities are not enough to sustain it and are dependent to their partners including the NGOs and LGUs. NGOs have major loopholes in terms of empowering their partner POs, while LGUs lack initiative in helping the projects, since they only help when the communities need them or tap them for help. Finally, the researchers found out that POs have no capability to address their own problems. The researchers recommended that organization through the help of these partners, such as LGUs and NGOs but no limited to, improve their management capabilities to empower the POs for the sustainability of the projects and that POs must learn how to face and address their problems and challenges in their community.}, number={1}
