Section B: Implementation plan process
Introduction The LECP process will include the overall
The individual bodies represented on the LCDC should also contribute to the formulation of the Implementation Plan. Local Authorities through relevant SPC should be involved in the development of actions for the Economic Element of the Implementation Plan. Other relevant bodies should be requested to contribute to the Implementation Plan also where their actions are of significant importance in the achievement of identified objectives. The Advisory Group are responsible for ensuring that the actions are coordinated in line with its role to develop an integrated framework LECP. Policy and contextual developments As the framework LECP requires consideration of the strategic policy perspective for all relevant policy areas the actions to support the High-Level Goals and objectives should be in line with the national targets and objectives. However, it is also important that the implementation plans reflect any emerging needs or policy developments and consider these when developing actions. Particularly important in this context is the need to consider the funding or potential funding resources that may be available to implement actions in any given year. This section of the Implementation Plan should reflect any changes made to the frameworks supporting the funding streams and these changes should be reflected in the actions prioritised in any given year.
strategic Framework LECP that outlines the High- Level Goals, objectives and outcomes over the 6-year planning period and an Implementation Plan process that will detail the prioritised actions for that implementation plan period. The overall LECP process will include both of these elements with a need to maintain ongoing comprehensive recognition of the links between the framework and the implementation plans. The implementation plans should also be integrated in nature in line with the Framework LECP and consider the economic and community objectives of the framework LECP in each implementation plan where appropriate. This method of implementation should be fully considered when developing the High-Level Goals and objectives with any prioritisation of goals and objectives considered from an implementation plan perspective. Each Implementation Plan will determine the actions to be implemented that will contribute to the achievement of the objectives and High- Level Goals outlined in the Framework LECP. These actions should be developed through prioritisation based on the framework LECP, context and experience and resources both human and financial that are available to implement the actions in that given year. The structures used to support the development of the Framework LECP should also be involved in supporting the development of the Implementation Plan. LCDCs should be involved in the development of actions for the Community Element of the work-plan.
