ØPracticality: all actions will be ensured a hands-on component aimed at the production of tools such as risk maps and country profiles. This will either build/consolidate the operational capacities of the beneficiaries or ensure their co -ownership within the initiative; ØOwnership and commitment: the involvement of the beneficiary countries in the PPRD South actions will be driven by ensuring their responsibility and commitment as to ensure sustainability of expected results.
