Whilst the findings of this study may not be generalizable to all knowledge-brokering contexts, they provide important understandings on the knowledge-brokering strategies preferred by time- and resource-poor policy-makers in a low-to-middle income country that is undergoing rapid policy reform.
Maintenance of functional ecological (or green) infrastructure is threatened by habitat conversion, fragmentation and loss, water scarcity, invasive species, climate change, resource extraction, poor policy implementation and societal inequity.

This model, or variants of it, continues to be used in resource poor contexts for analysis of health policy [ 30- 32].
It may also be valuable in providing researchers/professionals with a global picture of recovery following stroke, development of more comprehensive rehabilitation interventions, resource allocation, policy formulation in a resource poor country, planning of rehabilitation services, and specific therapeutics.
