The main objective of this Deliverable (D4.2) is to prepare a cross-country comparative analysis of the actual policy context of novel contractual solutions - namely the result-based, the collective, the land tenure and the value chain approaches - and thereby improve the understanding of contract governance.

DeMeester At the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, now rescheduled, the men’s 20K walkers take the start on August 5, 2021 at 4:30 p.m. local time. The 50K starts at 5:30 a.m. the next morning. This schedule does not lend itself to doing the “double.” It wasn’t always so. Ever since the 20K joined the 50K at the Melbourne 1956 Games (save for 1976 when the 50K was not on the program), male race walkers have been able to compete over both distances. It would be nice if World Athletics would change the schedule to let someone like Yusuke Suzuki of Japan take a stab at both distances, like the IAAF did in 1996 at the Atlanta Games when the schedules for the 200m and 400m were changed to allow the great Michael Johnson try for both golds in front of a home crowd.
