Wow, what a great opportunity. The SPA grants cover a lot of bases that are critical for long term local empowerment, health, etc. I'm sure the organizational aspect is a pain, but like you say, the locals have to have a stake in their own improvement even though it's probably easier to do it all yourselves. The 70/30 split on the cash end of the deal is both a great opportunity, yet at the same time, a big enough outlay of hard earned cash that everyone has to budget wisely. Best of luck.
