Abstract: This research highlights the key predictors of a sustainable community project, hence it contributes to the knowledge base of sustainable education. A correlational design was adopted to describe the relationship between financial resources, stakeholder involvement, capacity building, exit strategy and sustainability of Community-based Armyworm forecasting, (CBAF). The target population comprised of 290 farmers in Moshi district, Kilimanjaro region. Stratified random sampling was used to select a sample of 169 from the population. A researchers self-developed questionnaire was used as a data collection tool. Data analysis involving Pearson correlation and linear multiple regression conducted by use of Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). A majority of the farmers felt that the CBAF projects sustainability was low (n= 34, 41.5 %), although a total of 58.5 % of farmers felt sustainability as somehow high, high and very high. This may have arisen from inadequate finances, poor ownership of the project arising from poor stakeholder commitment and loosely packaged exist strategy. The study established significant positive correlations between stakeholder involvement (r=.58), capacity building (r=.47), financial resources (r=.51), exit strategy (r=.55) and sustainability of CBAF. It was also found that a combination of stakeholder involvement, capacity building, financial resources, exist strategy accounted for 51.6 % of the variability in the sustainability of CBAF, F (4, 81) = 20.56, p
