TEN NOTES ON GOOD GOVERNANCE IMPLEMENTATION
1. Policy and Institutional analysis must be combined.
2. The statement that politicians formulated strategic policies while civil servants implement them is a gross over simplification.
a) Civil servants are usually deeply involved in policy formulation.
b) Politicians who are not involved in policy implementation do so at their own risk.

3. We will have to deal with the characteristics of both (bureaucracy and network) for some time to come.
4. At macro-level, to identify where good governance reform advocates and activities already exist, network them, and promote positive synergies between them is one of the most effective ways to support good governance reform.
