IN STITUTIO N AL STRUCTURE ACT ION PLAN

Monitoring and evaluation for the effectiveness of this strategy will be carried out periodically. Every coastal district should develop its monitoring plan to monitor the implementation of their ICM Action Plans. ICMU, through the inter-sectoral W orking Groups, should develop a monitoring plan at national level. Monitoring plans should be designed to be inexpensive and rely on uncomplicated measuring techniques. This will ensure the success and sustainability of the monitoring plans. Some of the variables that should be considered for the monitoring plans could be but not limited to: • Q uality indexes of critical habitats, water quality, fish landings • Erosion and accretion, agriculture and mariculture production • Industrial production • H otel occupancy • Any other socio- economic quality index Evaluation should be done after every five years of implementation depend on the availability of funds. This will allow for review and adjustment, learning for tracking impact and accountability in the course of implementing this Strategy.
