Abstract

An ASA will be considered sustainable if it is
capable of developing maintenance and renewal financing strategies that can be reproduced over time. In other words, it must develop strategies that make it possible to respect the financial constraints of future members and the government’s desire to become less involved. Using an analysis grid of ASA management styles, we underscore the predominance of short or medium-term strategies.
