## How to synthesize this section?

While reviewing each model, consider organizing them into the 3 categories below:

<table><thead><tr><th valign="top">“We have prior experience with this model” </th><th>“This model might not be a good fit for our context, vision, values, or the policy environment we operate in” </th><th>“We do not have experience with this model but are keen to explore it”</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td valign="top">Quick Tip: For each model in this category, think about whether you have: 1.  Expertise in the model or 2. Tried this model but faced challenges.</td><td>Quick Tip: For each model in this category think about why that model is not a good fit.</td><td>Quick Tip: For each model in this category think about why you are interested in exploring that model.</td></tr></tbody></table>

Based on your categorization, pick the top 3 funding models that you want to explore a bit further.&#x20;
