SIRMZP, the short term
projects are in conformity with the ongoing
plan and can be implemented within a 1.5 year timeframe. It is our
professional opinion that these new projects will assist greatly in
securing the endorsement of stakeholders and the general public.
As outlined in Table 8.1 most proposed short‐term projects
highlighted will take place in areas with high visibility to the public.
2. The logical sequence of interventions;
3. The direct and indirect benefits of the interventions;

implementing each intervention;

interventions that curtail negative development tendencies, have
high impact, are ready to go at low cost, build institutional capacity,
nurture stakeholder interest and involvement and are not
