10. UN Agency issues Political views can take precedence over needs   Too bureaucratic Too slow to act Limited resources impacts execution in certain areas. Skills and competencies may be insufficient Limited data sharing  www.ghass.co.uk

11. Governmental issues Lack political will Fail to realise the speed of social change driven in part by IT Lack sufficient adequately trained manpower and budget resources Limited time to act decisively Limited in scope of action by International treaties regulations and protocols Transparency International highlights endemic corruption Lack data gathering / analysis resources focused on appropriate issues Credibility gap between Governmental statements and action taken on the ground www.ghass.co.uk

12. NGO Issues Limited focus on a particular need only Too reliant on government funding and thereby linked to them or Too reliant on voluntary donations Communications too focused on the ‘worst emotional picture’ for ‘Tonight's News’ to make visual impact or sound bite Can be too independent & do not work with others Lack sufficient accountability & responsibility Have become a global non-profit business in effect Too small to have a realistic impact on location www.ghass.co.uk

13. Expert issues Some have limited perspective that seals their reputation and their prestige Their ideas can re-circulate through international agencies despite limited proof of their effect or new advances Some experts find it hard to admit when new problems needs new solutions outside their range of experience or expertise Reluctant to accept new ways of thinking , technology or processes www.ghass.co.uk

14. Consultant issues Consultants may not be available when needed They may choose not to travel to difficult or insecure locations Their advice may be inappropriate to the need They may tell you what you want to know but not what you need to know www.ghass.co.uk
