- Increase the program’s focus on advocacy and civic education for good governance;
- Contribute to the development of a body of knowledge which helps define the relevance of different democratic governance approaches to service sustainability;
- Conduct action research on SPSN support models and compare to relevant and often close alternatives such as Community Driven Development tools.
