ESSENTIAL CONDITIONS FOR PROJECT SUCCESS

 PROGETTAPS, as any other development project, requires a
 high degree of coordination and cooperation among institutions if the
 established objectives and goals are to be reached. *This is particular
 true, even more so, when trying to conduct projects of inter-insti-
 tutional nature, where it is often necessary to establish priorities among
 activities based on available resources. For this reason, the Agricultural
 and Food Public Sector (SPADA) has established certain criteria or
 regulations that are necessary to consider before the approval of inter-
 institutional. projects..

 These essential conditions for inter-institutional projects are the
 following:

 1. The involved institutions must take a formal commitment of
 active participation throughout the project;

 2. There must ,be common objectives that guarantee the institutions
 interest to participate, and keep participating even after the
 project is over;

 3. A uniform .work methodology that expedites the conduction of
 the different-activities within the project;

 4. Integrated work plans within the project and a well-defined
 organizational structure that determines the functions and
 responsibilities of the participation institutions;

 5. Establish monitoring and evaluation activities for each stage of the
 project; and

 6. Adequate financing throughout the project life.

 All these actions are foreseen in the development of
 PROGETTAPS and their inclusion gives strength to the project and in
 high degree guarantee its success.
