Yes, they are. I think that everyone believes—and I know you would say this as politicians in Canada—local change is what is sustainable in the end. This is true of the big international organizations. At UN agencies like UNICEF, we are local. A lot of our staff are local and our structures are local, but the real locals are local NGOs, local civil society, local government. One of the other things that is changing is the growth of town and city governments and their role as change agents. We've seen that a lot in places like India, but we're now seeing it in places like Nigeria—mayors and cities are becoming powerful change agents.
As for how you combine all of that, part of our job is to bring people together and to help work on that with government. The only caution I would give is that in places where there's a lot of violence, civil society and NGOs can also become fronts for some of those groups. You have to understand the politics. We see this in many areas. You can get caught up in the politics, and NGOs can just be the pet of a militia leader or a politician. This is something you have to understand to be able to navigate the political complexities.
