Maybe we could get clarification on that too because it is also very important.

Specifically in regard to ABC, which subsequently became something else, I do not know why or what analysis was done. Later it became the QCBI, quality and capacity building initiative. Quality and capacity building is something that needs to be done to the Dormant Accounts Fund. What was the effect in regard to the philanthropic money? What was the breakdown for the ABC programme, in terms of the philanthropic money and the funds from the Dormant Accounts Fund? When the ABC programme changed, were there implications for the philanthropic funding?
