Of course, but the issue of overhead is an important one.
I might be going out on a limb. I don't know if this has been done in other DFIs—and Francesca and our other colleague can speak to this—but there is something to be said for aligning the goals of our aid portfolio and the DFI.
For example, last week there was an announcement that Canada will be investing $150 million in local women's rights organizations. You can see a strategy where, for example, in any given country, you have investments in women's rights organizations through our aid programs strengthening women's entrepreneurship associations, women's co-operatives, and all the rest, and then have an investment in the same communities where you already have a strengthened base of groups to work with.
This is not to say there would be no overhead in the DFI investment, but a lot of the coaching, the capacity building, and the long-term support that you need to build up that base is happening at the aid level and the investment is capitalizing on what's already been invested in from the aid side. We can see those kinds of models.
I take our colleague's point on the issue of the burden of requirements of reporting and proof that is placed on the aid sector, and that understanding that it perhaps should be less for the DFI, but less overall. I think there's something that we're all facing in the development community, that we are really crushed by the administrative frameworks around aid. I know there's a statement in the new assistance policy to say this needs to be addressed, because in our efforts to be more accountable, we're actually less effective.
