theme<br />
overlapping, reinforcing<br />
framework to structure<br />
collective actions that build<br />
trust between stakeholders<br />
and drive development<br />
outcomes<br />
development themes<br />
Each chapter has objectives and actions, where objectives<br />
are goals often with specific timelines<br />
Each goal has targets with specific timelines:<br />
there are 169 targets<br />
