  22. Why is this important? • Network of partnerships need to link together different levels presently disconnected • Different levels of “go between” value adding services are needed: - Specialized public purpose intermediaries, - Local intermediary organizations - Local SMEs - Customers The point of REED is to leave behind the discussions of “projects”, move to the creation of “portfolios” and reach the point where we are discussing “systems” of capital, products and services that are self-supporting. The key to getting there are sets of VALUE-ADDING PARTNERSHIPS
