6.2 Monitoring and Reviewing the Management Plan Management planning does not stop with the production of the Management Plan document. Regular monitoring is essential to address the management. An appropriate monitoring regime will need to be developed using relevant and measurable indicators which will assist the process of monitoring achievement of the Management Plan. The Bridge Commission should agree each year an Annual Action Program which will identify those elements of the Action Plan which will be implemented during the forthcoming year. It is recognized that the strategies and actions of the Plan will retain their relevance for five to ten years and the overall objectives for much longer. It is proposed that there should be a formal review of the issues and strategies at least every five years and the Plan revised to reflect possible changed circumstances. 6.3 Partnership and commitments The challenge now facing the Bridge Commission is to translate the Management Plan principles, objectives and proposals into actions on the ground. The Bridge Commission Coordinator should play a key role in enabling the member institutions and organizations and the wider community to work together to achieve the objectives of the Management Plan. It is recognized that individual institutions and organizations will each have their own particular contributions to make to the overall management and the Management Plan will provide a framework and context for these. The following acts prove the commitments of responsible institutions: ¾ Decision to adopt the Management Plan no. by the Council of Municipality Visegrad; ¾ Conclusion of the adoption of the nomination file and the managent plan by the Presidency of BiH; ¾ Conclusion by the Council of Ministers of BiH; ¾ Conclusion by the Commission to Preserve National Monuments. |
