This document is organised as follows:
- The regional policy has four guiding principles on human resources; infrastructure development; cooperation between stakeholders; and appropriate policy and regulation. These are the region’s goals.
- Policies are stated for each guiding principle, intended to set the rules by which specific strategies and actions will be designed to achieve the goals. They are long-term, but may be reviewed and changed every 3-5 years if necessary.
- The regional strategic plan consists of strategies for each policy, intended as the general means by which the goals will be reached. They are medium-term, but may be reviewed and changed on a 1-3 year cycle as required.
- Activities under each strategy in the plan are the specific means by which strategies are implemented. They should be monitored continually and modified annually if needed. Each activity has an identified actor(s) and a proposed time line or milestone.
