Therefore the Government believes that, wherever possible, such stakeholders should be the ones making decisions and taking actions needed to implement the Policy. Central authority should perform only those tasks that cannot be performed effectively at a more immediate or local level55. More aggregated (including, national) level actions should only be taken, when they would add specific and substantial value (e.g., by enabling synergies via stakeholder coordination). On the basis of local and international experience, the Government believes that successful implementation of policy interventions requires projects to be owned and driven by local and/or line stakeholders. To achieve this such stakeholders should: (a) have a clear stake in outcomes of respective policy interventions (including in terms of substantive as well as reputational outcomes (including the attribution of success)); (b) make a substantial contribution to the respective project (and, to a reasonable extent, take responsibility for projectrelated uncertainties); and (c) have substantial freedom and be able to exercise considerable discretion in taking actions. Stakeholder ownership and drive is not an objective by itself. It is a tool to achieve objectives of this Policy in general and of specific policy interventions in particular. The Government considers that clear and meaningful outcomeoriented expectations for and/or commitments of implementing stakeholders is an appropriate mechanism to achieve an alignment between actions of stakeholders and policy objectives, at the same time providing an environment enabling stakeholder ownership and drive. In the context of this section, the Government specifically notes the importance of local communities for implementation of projects at a local level. Demonstrable support of local communities is an important precondition for successful implementation of such projects. While local stakeholders are best placed to identify the best manner to attain and demonstrate such support, the 54 An example of a specific area, where decisions will have to be made by most appropriate line and local stakeholders, is limits to electronic content available via ICT tools to students in schools. 55 This is essentially how the Oxford English Dictionary defines ‘subsidiarity’.
