WHAT WE HAVE LEARNT USING THE TOOL
• It really is about good governance – not just funding
• Steps are not linear or straightforward
• It is not a scientific diagnosis
• The approach is very difficult for those in a critical funding situation e.g. “Forget about long-term thinking and strategy. We need money now!”
