Certains répondants ont reconnu que le financement du PDO était utilisé pour « compléter » le financement de programmes existants, en particulier le programme de Promotion des arts; cette situation soulève encore la question plus large qui est celle du manque de cadre politique, de stratégie globale et de cadre de responsabilisation en matière de diplomatie ouverte, malgré les récents efforts déployés, comme l'élaboration de la pyramide de la diplomatie ouverte.

The prior lack of such a coordinated planning approach to Canadian public diplomacy programs has resulted in one of the four programs, Arts Promotion, retaining until very recently program goals over 20 years old which stated that the purpose of the Arts Promotion program was to promote the arts as a goal in itself (notwithstanding some more recent efforts to "fit" this program into the contemporary RMAF planning structures and systems). Special mention needs to be made of the improved logic model or framework ("the PD Pyramid"), which begins to address the issue of interconnectivity and which was under development at the time of the evaluation. Likewise, the shifting and evolving nature of the PDP's goals, beginning with a largely national identity focus, and evolving towards one with more focussed on the attainment of overall foreign policy objectives (and some aspects of domestic sensitization) has had both positive and negative impacts on the overall ability to contribute to the attainment of foreign policy goals.
