My view is that this is very much driven by.... The things that come into the headlines get people's attention. We say in rhetoric that an election is not an event but a process, but that's not necessarily reflected in how the planning takes place, and as you noted, when things seem to be going well.... A great example is in Kenya. Kenya has had some very difficult elections over the last few years, but as soon as things seem to be on the right track, the money gets shifted somewhere else where the situation seems much worse. I think it's a lesson in the importance of sticking, and sticking with partners.
