Hi Alex, you are a blessing in disguise! :-)
You are welcome.
thnks much for clarification and am quite glad about the discussion. you've just made my project life much easier in many ways. The activities i mentioned in earlier email was a suggested flow and I sincerely hope no one on the list felt the proposed activities were imposing, cause really its nothing but an idea. Seems things are quite complicated out there and I'm sure you share your thoughts from years of knowledge and experience. :-)
@knowledge You will also find as true a local historical culture of subtle-to-fierce fight of knowledge rested at the edges. It empowers disrupting cozy 'self-interest institutional arrangements' aka corruption, business and political interests, public officers job security...etc Engage in it only if prepared for the consequences. @politics Many wonderful public-interest initiatives fail simply because the originators were perceived as coming from 'wrong' tribe or 'wrong' political party, or simply because a certain powerful political family member just didn't like the interventionist.Or because the threatened orchestrated occasional negative mass media coverage, for example, http://sokaissues.info/home/index.html. Lesson? Importance of "issue politics" failure which risks wasted precious time, resources and personal sacrifices. btw, hope I am not discouraging well-intentioned souls - read "to be fore-warned is to be fore-armed." asante,,
