LOCAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR TBILISI ... - LED

Phase four – preparing the Plan document, consultations and the approval:
• gathering implementation projects, their assessment and selection,
• preparing the draft Plan document,
• presentation, consultations and modifications of the draft,
• adopting the resolution by the City Council.
8. Strategy monitoring
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.
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
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.
