I'd like to know to what extent you are able to influence the departments. Over the years, you have developed a certain amount of expertise. Are you successful in making it known that the direction being taken is not in line with the set objectives and that the way programs are attributed needs to be reviewed since they don't really correspond to the experiences being lived out on the ground? Do you wield any influence when it comes to developing the government's strategic plan for its action plan?
