In Australia it would be seen as tokenism because it would be seen as likely to be one-off and unlikely to be developed further.

However if it is a soft start to an ongoing program, that can be seen as an excellent beginning. Giving groups time to envisage how they might best use funding, and to plan their applications over the medium term, rather than all at once.

Provision for training is a challenging point. How best do we do that (with or without external funding).
