Establish Collective Action Initiatives (CAIs): Contribute to the creation of implementable national CAIs aimed at achieving GP BACKUP indicators. Specifically, this involves producing nine design options for ATM integration that, through coaching, will result in at least six strategic, legislative, or planning documents by the project's end. 5. Provide Tools and Techniques: Offer tools and techniques for mapping complex systems, analyzing stakeholder influence, and addressing collective action problems. 6. Peer-to-Peer Exchange: Facilitate peer-to-peer exchange among leaders and provide inputs from technical experts towards national objectives. 7.
