 AB    OBJECTIVE: To consider sustainability of field responses in relation to
       programme impact and extension of impact. METHOD: Programme outcomes and
       influences on outcomes for 11 locations are examined, including elements
       of programme design and the role of technical assistance. RESULTS:
       Design processes have been implemented in Brazil, 4 countries of Africa,
       India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Philippines, Marshall Islands. Outcomes
       include: increased quality of life of clients; increased community
       capacity to cope; attitude, behaviour and environment change;
       organizational strengthening; transfer of lessons learned to other
       health and development programmes; transfer of motivation and action
       from community to community. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS: Field work
       design is critical to outcomes. Technical assistance is a strategy for
       enhanced programme design, outcomes, and sustainable responses that can
       extend. One aspect of design through technical assistance is appropriate
       linkage of field programme work to community, district, national and
       international levels. These forms of participation increase programme
       impact. Community influence on other communities demonstrates a movement
       beyond the boundaries of a particular programme. This is a key indicator
       of sustainable field programme impact.
