RECOMMENDATIONS
Quality over Quantity
Using of existing tools instead of creating parallel structures
Complex solutions to particular sectors is more effective than short term projects implemented outside the strategy
There are many stakeholders and donors in the province with considerable amounts of money to be spent in short term. It is recommendable to be more focused on long term and sustainable projects.
