7. Causes of deviations The disbursement rate during the reporting period was affected by the following reasons: When budgeting for application development at the beginning of the year, the complexity of the application is not yet known. Due to the nature of application selected for 2014, completing software requirement specification has taken longer than anticipated. This is because of the time needed to consult users. Thorough consultation of users is necessary so as to ensure that the application will be put into use. Delay in recruiting certain personnel, particularly the International Training and Communication Adviser, the National Training and Communication Coordinator, the National Forestry Expert and the three regional teams; in total 12 staff members. The reasons were related to unavailability of competent applicants and to the late identification of regional offices. Training activities have been delayed due to the unviability of the competent staff, revision of TORs, longer than expected time needed to complete software requirement specifications. Optimistic budgeting for instance contingency was included in the annual budget. F O R M I S II | Development of Management Information System for the Forestry Sector in Viet Nam7
