…based on experiences in implementing the case studies, there are
several critical components that would enhance effectiveness in
transforming policy planning into actions:
• INTERMEDIARY ROLE – there is a need for a strong intermediary
role especially involving cross-ministerial and multi-sectoral
domains.
• ALIGNMENT TO NATIONAL AGENDA – there is a need to integrate
and synergize with the national agenda (big picture)
• CHAMPIONS – there is a need to identify and get buy-in at the
early stage from relevant stakeholders which will involve actively
in the implementation stage
• STRATEGIC PLATFORMS – leverage and maximize the use of
available means such as strategic partnership or programs,
national level council, to name a few.
