Yes, it is awfully encouraging to see something like a plan emerging. But, as you asy, there's been an awful lot of damage done between two months ago and now - not to mention whenever this might emerge (and be budgeted).

Or, is this just a ploy to get good publicity for stating good intentions and then never follow through?

1. Yes. Retain the objectives.

2. DFC is OK but it needs to be infused with institution building, policy reform (“long term development in Moss’s words. Financing good high return projects is the means to an end. I hope DFC does not neglect cross-sectoral, economic reform which includes capacity building in economic and social statistics, anti-corruption, cost-benefit based regulatory and tax policy

3. Where is research? Presumably in DFC it was not mentioned and humanitarian aid and security/political needs research, too.
