Analysis of the planning process Why and how? Session 2 Jiri Dusik
Aim of this session To be able to analyse the planning process To understand the importance of doing that.
Why analyzing the planning process? It creates basis for the whole undertaking of IAP It helps to identify key strengths and weaknesses of the current planning process: Treatment of environmental, social and economic (ESE) issues Treatment of inter-linkages between ESE issues and of any applicable sustainability benchmarks Process management It helps to design appropriate focus and steps of IAP
Why: Common arguments against new assessments All substantive issues and stakeholder consultations are already sufficiently treated within the planning process Assessment will not bring any additional information Assessment will not fit into decision-making – it will prolong or complicate the planning process --- Without analysis of the planning process, it is often difficult to design IAP and explain it (its added value and relationship to the planning process)
Analysis of the planning process Each planning process is different Its analysis helps to identify Key strengths and weaknesses Corresponding entry points for IAP (where it can play useful role)
How to analyze the planning process Comprehensive set of questions in Section 3 of the UNEP Guidance for Pilot Projects needs to be considered Simplified questions for this workshop: What is the logic of the planning process? Describe its different elements Which ESE issues are considered? Are any linkages between various ESE issues taken into account? How are sustainability benchmarks (goals or bottom-lines) taken into account? Who participates and when?
Tasks for the group work Work in national teams Fill-in the matrix – logic of the planning process, treatment of ESE issues (Economy – trade, social – poverty, environment), treatment of linkages between ESE issues and of SD benchmarks, and use of consultations Prepare presentation on key benefits and difficulties of this exercise (incl. questions that you could not answer) This exercise can be followed up by detailed review (at home) using UNEP review framework
