It is recommended that the <strong>Plan</strong> be implemented over a five-year period. At the end of the five -year period the <strong>Plan</strong> should be reviewed, based on field moni<strong>to</strong>ring and other research undertaken. This review should report on the objectives and performance indica<strong>to</strong>rs. 43
