INTRODUCTION
This Management Action Plan (MAP) provides short-term and long-term strategic plans for the improvements and operations of the YEFE. The Plan expands upon the specific short and long-term recommendations that were developed through the review and analysis of the current management system and were developed within the context of phased time frames for implementation. The establishment of different time frames is based upon the recognition that certain management and structural improvements can be achieved in a relative short period of time while others will require a longer developmental period to complete. Implementation time frames are as follows:
• Phase 1: Jan – Apr 2011
• Phase 2: May – Dec 2011
• Phase 3: 2012 – 2013
• Phase 4: 2014 – 2016
In addition to this approach, the MAP also addresses certain concerns, and makes recommendations regarding those concerns.
As a roadmap document, the MAP will focus on identifying and implementing measures that will enhance the performance of the YEFE staff throughout the phased timeframes. It is therefore intended that the MAP continue to serve as a ‘living’ document that will be periodically revised in order to conform to YEFE realities and needs over time.
