LOCAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR TBILISI ... - LED

3.3. Methodology of updating the Corporate City Development Plan
As it has been mentioned before, the resolution concerning the Corporate City
Development - the document of a strategic character - should not end the
cooperation among partners involved in its realisation.
3.3.1. Principal conditions for updating
The Working and Inter-sector Teams as well as the City Development Council
take over the responsibility for the Plan implementation and for its updating.
The Council should play the role of a main consultative body for the Mayor
and the City Council of Tbilisi in the process of updating the Plan.
The conditions under which the adequate updating system will be applied
strongly determine formal and organisational activities, define the Plan’s
characteristics and regulate the Plan development works:
• step-by-step character – updated annually,
• duration 3– 5 years,
• working on the Plan by means of standardised forms,
• accurate and clear criteria of the implementation projects selection,
• application of IT tools to create and update database,
• sensitivity to changes in social and economic situation as well as in
legal regulations,
• stable procedures, instruments and collective bodies (the teams, the
Council), consultations.
3.3.2. Cyclic activities
The updating should be performed annually – having in mind that not all the
data will change in a yearly cycle.
Phase I
The cycle starts with collecting necessary information about the level of social
and economic development, the strategy implementation and accompanying
phenomena. This phase also includes surveys in business and social groups.
Naturally, the more data is collected, the more reasonable further steps are. At
this stage it is vital to determine the cycles at which individual data will be
collected and to identify the sources where they can be found.
