Agreed - very difficult ! --- Completely agreed Mariano. Much trickier in practice -and both points you raise are at the crux of it and relate to the issue of power -some NS may think they can not, and therefore do not -do these tend to be NS more in the 'global south' working sometimes with more authoritarian governments, and sometimes challenged by 'northern' PNS to do more? These are often the PNS who fund them and who are quick to include an 'Advocacy' outcome in their MEAL plan to DFID etc...
