Como era sabido, el corto tiempo dedicado a cubrir una área tan grande no nos permitió obtener en algunas ocasiones información suficiente en especial para aquellos proyectos considerados grandes dentro de la cobertura del proyecto, no obstante creemos que la información generada por el equipo conformado por Zamorano, SNV e INFOP es bastante detallada y en la gran mayoría de los casos servirá para tomar un curso de acción.
