  10. NOW, THE DON’Ts • Do not track the entire education budget; select only the critical, sensitive or suspicious • Do not do a corruption watch; this can be another project by another coalition • Do not cover the entire country; take only what is feasible • Engage others to help out in the tracking exercise • Do not do a comprehensive survey; focus on tracking. • Don't look at just the bad side. Do an appreciative inquiry. • Know when to back off when “sailing gets rough”
