CHAPTER III METHOD OF EVALUATING THE MANAGEMENT EFFECTIVENESS OF AQUATIC,

COASTS AND SMALL ISLANDS CONSERVATION AREAS A. General The E-KKP3K technical guidelines are used not only for the evaluation of management performance, but also for self-evaluation, to generate constructive input for conservation area planning in order to improve management effectiveness.

B. Implementer

Evaluations using the E-KKP3K technical guidelines are carried out by a team of evaluators, with members as required. This team can consist of: 1. National government; 2. Local government; and 3. Independent evaluators. At the macro level, the evaluation team is appointed by government based on their key tasks and functions. At the micro level, the evaluation team will depend on needs: 1 for internal and planning needs, and 2 for external needs with the participation of stakeholders. For internal and planning needs, all team members come from the conservation area concerned, and include the head and management of the area and the planners. For external needs, the stakeholders in the evaluation team include representatives of the conservation area management team for example the head and planners, and direct stakeholders such as representatives of fishers, tourism businesses, private companies, and universities. If necessary, the conservation area management team may appoint an independent team to conduct the evaluation.

C. Timing

Based on the fact that E-KKP3K tools are used to evaluate the stage and level of management, evaluations should be performed periodically over a set period of time. These evaluations are useful for planning to improve the management performance of a conservation area, so that each process at each stage of E-KKP3K management can be quickly achieved. For management levels 1 red and 2 yellow, annual evaluations until all processes at management level 2 yellow have been completed are recommended. For levels 3 green and 4 blue, evaluations can be performed once every two to four years, with evaluations every two years strongly recommended to promote completion of all processes at level 3 green andor some of the processes at level 4 blue. For management level 5 gold, evaluations every five years are recommended. 15
