  1. The Czech Republic - Integrated Planning and Assessment of National Development Plan of the Czech RepublicIntegrated Assessment and Planning for Sustainable DevelopmentSecond Review MeetingGeneva, September 21-22, 2005

  2. Scope of presentation • Selected planning process • Objectives of the project • Project outputs • Project impact and a follow-up • Challenges

  3. Selected planning process- National Development Plan of the Czech Republic • EU Assistance Structural Funds • Support development of poor and underdeveloped regions in EU • First round completed in 2003 (NDP 2004-2006) • New programming period (2007-2013)

  4. National Development Plan of the Czech Republic • Familiarity • ESE assessments undertaken • Promotion of the SD within the Structural Funds programs • Repeating process of preparation and the assessment

  5. National Development Plan – implementation gaps • Integration of the concept of sustainability within the planning; • Complexity of the process, with a large number of stakeholders involved; • Sharing the know-how, outputs, communication, use of “learning by doing” potential

  6. Key objectives of the project • Review experience from the previous NDP (mutual relationship of assessments, inputs into NDP planning process and stakeholder consultations); • Propose an integrated assessment framework for NDP 2007-2013

  7. Integrated assessment framework for National Development Plan • Clarifying the relations between the integrated assessment and planning process; • Defining the understanding base and a reference framework for sustainability assessment proposing methodological approaches; • Integration of the assessment in terms of sustainable development within the socio-economic ex-ante and the SEA assessments of the National Development Plan; • Practical aspects of the integrated assessment; • Analyzing and mapping the interested and concerned groups

  8. Relation between integrated assessment and planning process • Experience from SEA • Validation of the planning process

  9. Sustainability assessment reference framework Issue • Defining economic, social and environmental objectives • Discussing enormous amount of particular issues. Response • Cluster analysis (consistent clusters of related problems) • Identify cross-section topics methods/tools

  10. Key policies for achieving SD • Czech Republic Strategy for Sustainable Development • Strategy of Economic Growth (in process of development) • Lisbon strategy • EU Strategy for Sustainable development

  11. Methodological background • “Impact assessment” of the concept – evaluation of proposed specific measures in terms of their specific (environmental, social or economic) impacts and their inter-relations; • “Compliance assessment” of the concept – evaluation of the concept’s compliance with relevant (environmental, social, economic) targets that have been determined for the given sector or territory in relevant strategic documents; • “Efficiency assessment” of the concept – evaluation of the ways in which the concept influences the system determinants that have a fundamental impact on the development in the given sector or territory. These determinants can be economic, social or environmental.

  12. Integration of the assessment in terms of sustainable development within the socio-economic ex-ante and the SEA assessments of the National Development Plan • Recommendations for each plannig stage

  13. Outputs and impact of the project • Recommendations for methods and process of the integrated assessment (report) • Preparation and assessment of the new NDP • First platform to discuss the SD in planning and assessment practice • Council for SD – Methodology for the IA of strategic concepts • Stakeholders – learning and education process; feedback

  14. Process of new NDP preparation • ToR for SEA and ex-ante • Integration into planning process • Round tables on addressing the SD issue within the assessment

  15. Key findings – difficulties in sustainability assessment • Definition of SD objectives for the assessment purposes • Complexity of principal values (quality of life and the eenvironmental quality) • Limited data • Different concepts of integration of the sustainability assessment with current assessment processes • Limited commitment • SIA tools and methods developed by researchers, used by practitioners • Capacities disposable for undertaking the assessment

  16. Limitations of the project • Theoretical framework • Involvement of experts in social and economic fields
