There is some navel-gazing going on, given the timelines we are talking about here. I refer to one in particular, where a programme seems to have been replaced. The area-based childhood, ABC, programme was abandoned, and then a new programme was initiated. There is obviously a very significant underspend on that particular scheme. For example, matching funds were supposed to be forthcoming from Atlantic Philanthropies. Will those funds be available with the replacement programme, the quality and capacity building initiative? Will that programme be rolled out? How close is that programme to being finalised?
