I agree 100%. I have experience of this myself. The temptation is that if funding is provided for one year, you work with the ones that are already there - the ones that have certain capacity. You do not have time in that year to go for the additional capacity-building engagement, in particular in rural areas. I do not want to create a divide between people but there are extra challenges with transport, childcare and all of those things that people encounter.
