To evaluate the success of the program you therefore only need to assess whether the government held together for 3 years (hot tip.....they did).<br /><br />Less cynically, part of the model was "everything we've done to date has sucked, so perhaps letting a thousand flowers bloom might have a better outcome. It can't be worse than what we were doing."<br /><br />Even less cynically, it's a model that allows government funding from many parts of the government to be aggregated into a citizen (or family) centred model of service delivery. It may be hard to evaluate because it's very personalised and very cross-domain area. It may also be hard to evaluate because it's heavily into NGO delivery using volunteer workforces who have little tolerance for administration.PaulLhttp://Technpol.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2830084253401570472.post-37628865558816969832015-05-07T10:57:11.677+12:002015-05-07T10:57:11.677+12:00I get that.
