Different partner organizations have been identified and found willing to collaborate in the implementation of the study programme. However, formal institutional arrangements may hamper the adequate and flexible implementation of the programme. Adequate modalities of collaboration between the organizations involved will have to be established.
Project vehicles used by the project have been transferred to LBDA as they had depreciated, and are now in use for other purposes. This may cause transport problems to the project as the study programme involves frequent travel in the project area. Transport facilities have to be ensured before implementation of the programme.
The current state of computers and software in the project may not be adequate for proper analysis and reporting during the study programme. An efficient and effective upgrade of the computing and printing facilities is recommended (see inputs).
