A new element of the Plan compared with the previous LECP is the preparation of a two-year Implementation Plan (Stage 5). The delivery of the objectives and ultimate realisation of the outcomes are supported by practical, time-bound actions as part of the Implementation Plan process. There is a stronger emphasis on implementation of actions in this Plan and follow-up on these through engagement with other agencies and support actions within the Council’s own functions. The key agencies and areas for action are identified under each of the objectives in the Plan. The Implementation Plan will contribute to the delivery of these objectives and their associated action areas considering the relevant context and the resources available within the time period, including funding through various funding streams. This will then provide the information for the monitoring, evaluation and review of the Plan required in Stage 6. The monitoring and evaluation framework is part of a cycle of planning, implementation, progress reporting (monitoring), identifying what has been achieved or the impact (evaluation), learning from the experience and applying that learning in subsequent plans.
