Lecture 02

Reading the NAP's sector chapters for local relevance

Content

In the order a learner meets it. Each block is a separate thing to write, and their order is the lecture's argument.

  1. Block 1 · text

    Every chapter has a provincial reading

    A sector chapter written for a national ministry still contains actions that only make sense once translated to a specific province - an irrigation action reads differently in the dry zone than on the wet southwest coast. The chapter itself rarely makes that translation; a province has to do it.

  2. Block 2 · text

    Unclear ownership is the most common finding

    The most frequent output of a first localisation read-through is not a list of actions to deliver - it is a list of actions with no province, department or budget line clearly attached to them yet. Naming that gap is itself useful work.
