The landscape of some low- and middle-income countries is sadly all too often littered with the remains of well intentioned health development projects that have failed. The Kintampo Project in Ghana is an education intervention that is set to achieve the most elusive of outcomes in development work, namely genuine sustainability. This article focuses on the challenges faced by the project and the factors that have allowed it to reach its targets.
