Contextualizing the Outcome Declaration what do these commitments mean to me in my country for my constituency? 3. Mapping possible interventions and approaches to holding governments accountable (considering what is feasible? What is currently in place?) 4. Planning for the short, mid and long term (6 months, 2 years and 5 years) what are the types of approach that I can use in my organization and when is it most appropriate to use it.
