Now I did skim over some of the material
As time and language permits 
I do find it intriguing, of course I don’t have a final verdict. I checked out the Norwegian initiative that yours seems to be based on to some extent. Sometimes it is hard to say if things are running more in “Médecins Sans Frontières” style, that goes into the trenches and does the nitty gritty in the places it hurts - or if it is more a “publicly financed booking agency” in a cosy office somewhere down town (I am not alluding anything here - just my perceptions* on varying impact of general organizations/networking*). Based on the intro vid to the Norwegian Cultural Rucksack I have to say there’s certainly no lack of work for you guys - but Norway is also in a, ahem, special financial situation. Most programs I know of have a hard time running for 12 years, and then decide to look what impact they may have had (https://youtu.be/J4w2tBFNt3c?t=316). Of course these things are really difficult to nail down, and I would say money spent on cultural work is seldom money that is “burnt”.
*I recently did a longish comment on this and would appreciate feedback “from the other side”.
