Mr. Sidibeh, thanks for your reaction. I see no contradiction in my rendition. I did make a qualifier that you must follow the sequence of the accronym. I believe Mr. Nyang's presentation was more a matter of style, to accentuate the key issues to be addressed. Once we accept the accronym, we must also respect how we apply it, hence following its sequencing. your interpretation (or understanding)) of SWOT is very narrow. Of course, you can apply it to entities in the making. There are basically two ways that come to mind. One, where an existing entity has been taken over and is being overhauled or recreated. The second is where a new entity is being created. The broader application of SWOT relates to this situation also. For example if we agree that SWOT is an appraisal system, it also applies to projects which are being formulated, as they are also entities in the making. In respect to the use of the word 'avoiding', you can indeed, avoid a natural cause. For instance, in the aviation business, weather men forecast storms and their path and pilots are informed. This knowledge (or information) enable them avoid the storm's path. with respect to weaknesses, I did say where a value for money matrix determines economic/financial feasibility, then obviously, you are better off applying its outcome. But these are more a matter of nuances. I was perhaps brief on the more important issues, namely, the bumster and child sex issues. I would have loved to see some reaction suggesting, for example, an IEC strategy (information, education and communication) as an effective way of sensitising the community to be vigilant, and, educating them of the dangers inherent in encouraging children to go and 'make friends' with Toubabs.
