Awareness and training does not automatically translate into utilisation and institutionalisation Anecdotal evidence of impact, though hard to analyse cause and effect Any application effort must start with the basic question “what is the value added of the Minimum Standards” and a gap analysis with existing/local standards Contextualisation and development of related materials is essential
