The advisory council needs to improve its record, and the ministries face problems of policy execution owing to undcrstaffing. The “business models” of the main funding agencies and the relations between some agencies and “their” ministries need a close review. Funding programmes have some overlapping portfolios and seem to duplicate efforts of other intermediaries funded by the same agencies. A more mature evaluation culture could contribute to better feedback and communication loops. Improving governance would entail addressing a number of issues.
