Despite interrelationship PIP LTR, two been largely developed refined in separation. Departing from promise that synergies approaches are not only possible, but also highly desirable, results this research confirm mutually beneficial relationship exists, various potentially synergistic interactions identified. The however indicate such be found simple succession, rather well-conceived intertwining LTR interventions. With complexity context-specificity each location mind, study suggest five sequential recommendations meant provide guidance when aiming integrate approaches.
