We implement projects,
to achieve defined strategic goals,
according to a plan,
by spending other people’s money,
then reporting to donors, and
making sure auditors & evaluators are informed,
in order to benefit people we don't know and
we will never meet.
No customer–supplier relationship !
We must use RBM !
RBM soup – who goes hungry ?
