  abstract = {{O}bjective {T}his article is a case study of a capacity-building project to reduce malnutrition, implemented by a non-governmental organization ({NGO}) in {N}iger. {I}t aims to generate a set of lessons learned on the processes of sustaining health interventions in vulnerable contexts. {M}ethods {U}sing a theoretical framework on sustainability, we carried out a thematic analysis on semi-structured individual interviews (n = 124) collected, between 2016 and 2017, during the evaluative research of the {NGO} project. {R}esults {T}he data analysis revealed several risks and opportunities to sustain the project activities, classified according to the characteristics of a routine identified in the theoretical framework: memory, routines, values, and rules. {O}ur findings show a low level of sustainability of the project. {S}everal activities were stopped at the end of the project and others may not continue in the long term. {I}ndeed, local realities-poverty and political fragility-combined with the 'short-term' and vertical logics of the project's implementation have hindered the project activities' sustainability. {C}onclusion {I}n vulnerable environments, sustainability should not simply be seen as an outcome to be achieved at the end of the project. {T}he sustainability process must be activated by key stakeholders, focusing not only on the resources stabilizing but also on the resilience of the structures and systems in which interventions are embedded.},
