Financing
To have the necessary financial resources available to obtain the data and human resources required for each of the phases of the project by identifying a reliable and continuous source of funding.
Sources of funding may include: Non-governmental organizations and academia, international financing funds, non-profit foundations, national institutional budgets, among others.
- To have clarity on the necessary budget (project costing), how it will be used and how it will be managed.
- The project was financed by the German Development Cooperation, which provided reliability and stability to the process.
- Funding is key to the development of such a solution, as it requires expensive geospatial imagery and specialized personnel for information analysis.
- The availability of temporary funding (e.g., through international cooperation) may be the push for the construction of this tool, but it does not ensure its sustainability (maintenance, updating and usefulness in the long term).
