Replying to LO849 --

I think this would be of more general interest to the list so perhaps
responses could be sent to the list as well as to Mr. Chiasson.

I am particularly interested in the notion of "learning contracts" as an
internal management consultant within the UN from the perspective of
accountability and "capacity building" in the developing world context.
