Sustainable funding sources exist to meet projected needs.

Explanation: Sustainable funding is the foundation of effective partnerships. Data production tends to be the highest component cost for implementation of geospatial technologies and most users have requirements for continuous updating of data layers that need reliable fund sources. Effective consortia can only be established when each of the participants brings something to the partnership. Non-lapsing funds also help to stabilize partnerships.
