Governance and accountability
Four levels. A ten-year road. Public measures.
The institution is built to outlive a personality. Strategy sits with trustees and a board. Delivery sits with management. Specialist judgement sits with an advisory network. Performance is reviewed quarterly and reported annually.

Operating approach
- 01 Connect
- 02 Coordinate
- 03 Collaborate
- 04 Develop
- 05 Measure
Homeland development cannot be achieved by one organisation. The initiative seeks collaboration rather than unnecessary competition with existing economic, community, professional, cultural, governmental, diaspora and development initiatives. The aim is to turn fragmented effort into work that can be scaled and sustained.
