I would say that we had very solid, qualitative data, good indications of what works, but we were not as solid in establishing the proof, establishing a chain of results. Sometimes it was more difficult for us to establish that it was our intervention that caused something to happen. We're hoping now that by building more rigour into the process and having a logic model for each of these projects and key results that need to be achieved, we'll be able to capture more easily what works and what doesn't work. More important, we will share that back to the communities so that groups that have an interest in this subject matter across the country can access what works and what doesn't work, and not reinvent the wheel locally, with futility at times.
