Conclusion<br />
The accuracy obtained on those thirty-five points by far exceeds the norms<br />
requested in the tender. Any application can start from one of those reference<br />
points.<br />
It is not clear yet whether the project will be extended to the north of the country.<br />
The state of the road network, the dense tropical forests and the probable<br />
tectonic movements in the lake area, are so many challenges that will have to be<br />
overcome.<br />
