Additional points
World Bank GEF project included
stakeholders in planning at five
reserves.
Other reserves are planned in a topdown
process starting with a
master plan for construction of
infrastructure and with little scope
for stakeholder input;
There is an established schedule and process for
periodic review and updating of the management plan +1
The results of monitoring, research and evaluation are
routinely incorporated into planning

8. Regular work plan
Work plans exist and are carried out
but not scientifically monitored.
Work plans seldom address impacts of
