About us
What is SUSTAIN 2?
SUSTAIN 2 offers a unique opportunity to borrowers towards the improvement of frameworks and capacity. The programme is built around a four-tier programme, delivering online and face-to-face trainings. The first two tiers take place online, which gives to the participants the flexibility to complete learning at their pace, while the last two phases embrace a face-to-face approach.
