If the timing is right......

Myles, Ann K.

Many land administration projects today do things in the wrong order. As an example, they might first buy equipment from donor funds, then design a database and capture data, just to realize that data can not be kept up-to-date as no maintenance system is in place, or that stakeholders are not on board and disagree on needs or format of the information. The system is of little use and the collected information is getting old. Little was gained from the project and the equipment soon gets outdated. The paper presents some example templates for timing the many components of a land administration project, and lists some common timing problems and their reasons. It should be seen as a basis for discussion of the most appropriate timing between common project components.
