For me at least, it was an excellent presentation, Robert. To me the failure of the Child-2-Child program to sustain and spread, given that it had convincingly demonstrated its feasibility in ordinary schools & communities is another example of the failure of seemingly successful innovations to be sustained and spread. They exist in local social ecologies into which resources from outside have been obtained for a 2-3 year period and when the demonstration is over, there have been no prior plans for success. Your description of “projectization” applies as much in US domestic intervention experiments as in Zambia.
This kind of phenomenon strongly motivates the need for design researchers to take the macro political/economic context of their interventions, as implied by the Bronfenbrenner schema.
