Public health programs must be implemented in line with the necessary sustainability considerations. This includes developing the programs in a manner that is effective in ensuring that they can address the n different needs of the community as well as the other stakeholders including the healthcare providers and government. Sustainability is important in public health programs because it ensures that the programs do not negatively affect the different stakeholders, such as having extremely high costs on the government or social costs that are incurred by the community members (Robertson, Skelly, & Phillips, 2019). The consideration of sustainability also ensures that the intangible or non-monetary costs are considered in analyzing the outcomes of the programs and their effectiveness.

A cost-benefit analysis is essential in program evaluation especially in assessing the sustainability of such programs. The cost-benefit analysis is important in showing the outcomes of the programs in relation to the costs incurred by the different stakeholders (Robertson, Skelly, & Phillips, 2019). The aim of this approach is to ensure that the program in question has a higher benefit accrued to the community being served than the costs that are incurred in order to facilitate it. Regarding sustainability, the cost benefit analysis involves a wide range of considerations including the social costs and non-monetary benefits that may be achieved by the community being targeted.
