6. Basic Requirements Bucket

7. Challenge • It is challenging to quantify the inflow and outflow when bucket strategy is applied to a non empirical system. Suggestion: Instead of attributing quantitative value we could assign a qualitative value based on the level of significance to the community

8. Balancing Act • inflow= left end • outflow= right side • Size of blocks represents the level of significance to the community

9. Conclusions: • Leaky Bucket can be applied to other none economic analysis with varying success • The ‘Balancing Act’ can be used to further support/ refine bucket dialogues where a qualitative rather than quantitative value may be more readily applied • The Leaky Bucket should be used in collaboration with other ABCD tools • Collectively the ABCD tools addressed the different factors that impacted the Human Spirit

10. Existing Issues: • Is a pure asset based approach viable in the long term ? • How do we directly address deficiencies in a community without the process becoming bogged down in negativity?
