Sustainability of the Project – devolving responsibilities to CBOs There are more than 500 groups which are in various stages. The groups are federated into intermediary level federations and at apex level into one Association .The groups have to be made independent in conducting meetings, resolving conflicts, maintaining records and in financial transactions. Programme sustainability CRUSADE had a series of meetings with Association members about the activities the association will assume responsibility in future. The association is willing to take up almost all functions from the organization in the next couple of years. Financial Sustainability Increasing number of groups are now linked to local banks and they are able to mobilize resources from Banks for their credit needs. They also avail themselves subsidy or grant from Government wherever feasible. The Association will have built enough Capital fund to meet the credit needs of groups which for any reason are not able to get credit from Banks and are otherwise eligible.
