The design is, therefore, the first stage in seeking funds both locally and from donors. The reason a design has to be done is time. Over time, a lot of things change. There is an increase in human population, change of traffic levels and so on. Every time, before we do a project, it is necessary to do a design work. It is on that basis that the cost is established. We, therefore, cannot go look for money when we have no idea how much we are looking for."}
