Some final words!
Well, I have done my best trying to answer the questions of our final assignment! I tried to show the whole path. It was not easy at all. Actually, I thought more than once that I would probably come back to Matt, Salimah, and Anisha and told them I couldn´t do it. That it was so hard.
But then I remembered Matt telling us that “sometimes realizing that we don’t fully understand the problem is a huge improvement”. And I think that is what happened to me.
I asked myself: Why I am doing all of this? Why I am going forward on the PDIA? Is this Harvard thing that important?
I realized I was doing it -and I always did- for our citizens. The people we, as public servants, are supposed to serve.
PDIA showed me that there is no right way to approach a problem. The problem is not to approach it. Taking things for granted and stop questioning the very reason why they are done leads us to the same results: frustrated citizens and a great discomfort with democracy itself.
Thank you all guys! And as Matt told me “Keep doing development without limits!”

P.S.: I continue this journey with a group of local governments! But that is another story... ;-)
