This is the point of my questions. I have been involved in this area for a good few years and it has been beaten into me that the best way of spending our money is by means of the governmental systems. There is a reason we are not doing this in Uganda. Has the Synthesis report changed the Department's view with regard to that approach anywhere else? It has always been the policy mantra that this is the most effective, sustainable way of achieving a bang for our buck. There are inherent dangers in using this system but has there been a change?
