Making it happen:Implementing agencies • Implementation partnerships with selected development agencies and companies (by the government’s project management unit) • Rules of procurement and tendering that are transparent and accountable (and preferably the same for external and domestic funds) • Implementing partnerships on services with multilateral agencies and NGOs - becoming “operators” for the Government (South)
