Cooperation happens at the

hearquarters or the field

Cooperation happens at home, in your slippers

Cooperation happens in office hours

Cooperation happens anytime

Some chosen one becomes

aid worker

Anyone is an aid worker and works with anyone

Co-cooperation and south-south cooperation are difficult to handle

Hierarchy and unidirectionality

are difficult to maintain

Involving stakeholders

is expensive

Not involving stakeholders

can end up being expensive

Collaboration is expensive

Competition is expensive, reinventing the wheel is expensive

Content and container

are inseparable

Content is voltile,

the container is people

How is the question like?
