In this lecture

  • Extract province-relevant actions from a sector chapter
  • Separate national-level and sub-national actions
  • Flag actions with unclear ownership

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.

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.
