While it seems really important to remember that there were numerous organisations involved, it also seems important to track results like these. Otherwise you run the risk of discounting the impact of any project in which multiple actors were involved unless you have a precise break down of the causal power of each. That would essentially mean that it never looked worthwhile to engage with governments (where there are always a large number of players, and it’s rarely acceptable for information to be made available on the causal power of each). That might be right, but I’d hesitant to make such a strong statement (compared to the more moderate one which GPP is making).

If you look at what I said, you’ll see it doesn’t imply that—it’s simply saying we should do our best job at estimating the impact of GPP, with a spelt out justification of this, and that without this the reallocation of the £2.5bn shouldn’t be relied upon as a tangible result.
