"Whole system approach In appointing the new Director, IRC is sending an unequivocal message about its commitment to promote sustainable service delivery and confront the failures of building isolated, unsustainable projects that have typified too many aid and development approaches. In his work Dr Moriarty has promoted a belief in collective action with government to embed a ‘whole-systems approach’ – where all aspects of running a service are taken into account, including how to sustain its life cost not just capital expenditure." This is the message which the Aid Agencies have ignored resulting in billions of wasted investment. Capital aid goes literally 'down the drain' if you don't address maintenance and asset management.
