In this step you draft the implementation plan with the following points in mind: expected effects and their evaluation, involved partners, funding and implementation schedule.
In parallel, plan the evaluation strategy and conduct before-implementation evaluation. This implies to implement specific tools or procedure for collecting data to be used in evaluation. At this point you need to design measureable indicators and the specifications for a controlled assessment of the impact of implementing preventative measures in specific contexts (spatial and temporal scale, nature of control, required data, etc.).
Actions | Questions to be answered | Issues to be considered |
---|---|---|
Selection of measures | Which measure will be implemented? |
|
Assessment of expected effects | What is the estimated effect of the selected measure on target incidents? |
|
Involved organisations and their responsibilities | Which are the participating organisations? | Organisations and their roles:
|
Estimated cost | What is the cost of selected measures? |
|
Funding | How is the funding organised? |
|
Implementation schedule | When are the selected measures implemented? |
|
Evaluation and monitoring issues | How are the effects evaluated? |
|
In order to analyse the before-period situation you need to collect data that have been selected for evaluation purposes. These data will eventually be compared to the one collected after the implementation of the measure(s) in step 6. These data should thus be available at the end of the implementation period.
Once this step is completed, you are ready for the actual implementation and evaluation.
