2. The equation of the development: Before accession fkh p N Financial resources Know-how (Administrative and technical capacity) Projects NeedsNeeds

3. The equation of the development: After accession Fkh p N Financial resources Know-how (Administrative and technical capacity) Projects NeedsNeeds

4. What does it means "technical capacity" to realise projects Administration Appropriate legal framework Technical know how Managerial know how Necessary human resources Necessary administrative structures Private sector Technical equipment Technical know-how Necessary structures

5. What should be done by the administration?  Define the project  Plan its realisation  Manage all preparatory phases  Realise or supervise the realisation of the project  Approval/reception of the realised works Maturity Execution These are obligatory stages which if not taken into account from the beginning will be revenged

6. FROM FINANCING DECISION TO PROJECT COMPLETION  WHAT HAS TO BE DONE  WHEN (with which sequence)  HOW LONG IT WILL TAKE

13. SUMMARY - CONCLUSIONS  The design procurement and design process phase is a critical period for the success of the project and is an integral part of the project pipeline  The time required for design phase and works procurement must not be underestimated  The correct sequence of preparatory stages leads to better and more effective projects who are realized on time
