16. Contextualization
• Present Scenarios what are the Plans of the Government:
1. Economic Development Plans
• Long Term Economic Development Plan

terms of indicators (fixed from 10-25 years)

of Local Officials/Congressmen which is 3 years
• Implications: Projects are implemented as Programs, therefore overlapping of outputs
