5. 4. SIHLWA’s financial basis and ideas and efforts to ensure adequate funding for activities & projects If partners would “walk their talk” we would have no problems. First strategic principle should be that all partners do what they have committed to. Project funding always scarce. So is good project implementation and resources for management and supervision. Don’t try to swallow more than you can chew! Associated projects! Scale-up! Find out! Data-base!

6. ADO: A&DPrev SPb -> 2009 -> 2010 Social well-being NCM & Finland ? Others?? OSH: N-W Russia -> 2010 3rd phase Finland, ILO, others? ALC: EIBI -> 2009 -2010 Russia ? Baltics? Lessons learned from 2008 feasibility project. Attitudes is Russia may prevent implementation: own input missing and not fully understood. Indigenous Mental health, Addictions & Parenting -> 2010 ? CAN & NCM? Associated projects! Keep in mind – ITA to follow up 5. SIHLWA’s project based activities and development of new projects as well as coordinated lobbying for donors for project funding
