Performance Measures • • SECTION 1. INTRODUCTION The need to focus the activities to be undertaken under the environment sector, with funding from the FSM/US amended compact, became more urgent when accomplishments after five years were short of expectations. This FSM Environment Sector Five Year Plan is being put forward as a more focused plan for yearly projects for the five governments to undertake to move the nation/states forward in accomplishing targeted outcomes in a systematic approach. This Five Year Plan does not replace the Environment Sector Plan in the SDP. The Five Year Plan identifies priority projects within the Environment Sector in the SDP that will be undertaken, with funding from the amended compact environment sector, during the planning period (2010 to 2015). The Federated States of Micronesia (FSM) embarked on the development of its 20 Vear Strategic Development Plan in xxxx. The outputs were the completed FSM Strategic Development Plan (SOP) which included its Infrastructure Development Plan (IOP). The SOP laid the ambitious direction for the FSM to allocate resources to attain its goals in socioeconomic development including, among others, the needed Infrastructure to support development and protection of its environmental resources. The FSM SOP served also to satisfy requirements of the amended compact with the United States Government. The SDP was· ratified by FSM Congress and accepted by the US Government. The SOP contained the following sectors: 1) Education, 2) Health, 3) Private, 4) Fisheries, 5} Agriculture, 6) Environment, 7) Gender, 8) Toursim, and 9) Infrastructure . Only the following sectors: 1) Education, 2) Health, 3) Environment, 4) Public Capacity Building, 5) Private Sector Development and 6) Infrastructure are being funded from the amended compact pursuant to the terms of the compact agreement. The environment sector in the SOP contained nine (9) strategic goals with numerous activities to be undertaken to achieve such goals . SECTION 2. PLANNING PROCESS The planning process spanned over xxx months. It included two visits by Team to all the four states and the national government and a national consultation in Pohnpei during the FSM Environment Conference. The list of offices consulted is shown in Append xxx. During the first consultation, the Team presented the scope of the project and emphasized the following: 1. The Five Year Environment Sector Plan is to prioritize which strategic goals and projects that support those goals in the SOP Environment Sector to be undertaken in the next five years with funding from compact environment sector. 2. The number of projects and projected amount for projects per year should be realistic, and should be within amounts that each respective government will most likely to afford. 3. Projects may be implemented in phases to accommodate funding constraints. 5. The format of Plan to have specific sections for each government with matrix showing strategic goal(s), office to implement project, project title, and specific year(s). The first lists of priority projects for each government were developed during the first round of consultation. The lists were further refined and prioritize during the national consultation. The results of the national consultation were further worked upon during the last consultation with the states and national government and formed the final priorities of each government. • • SECTION 3. PRIORITIES BY GOVERNMENTS The priorities for the next five years for funding from the amended compact environment sector are presented in matrix format. The matrix contained the name of the department/office that will be doing the project, the specific strategic goal as approved in the SOP Environment Sector, the timeline and project name. It is important to note that activities for each project will be developed by the project proponent during the annual project based budget submission including budget line Item. It is recommended that for projects that will span over more than one fiscal year to submit only one proposal but with specific activities in specific fiscal years. The priorities of the five governments reflect the different level of environmental needs and issues facing each government. It also reflects the role that such government plays in the planning and implementation of environmental issues. Finally, the messages from the heads of each respective government attested to the fact that the list of priorities is endorsed by each of them .

The Summit process was initiated to achieve broad-based under­ standing and consensus for reform measures needed to adjust to the changing economic circum­ stances facing the FSM. Most importantly the FSM was preparing for the large declines in Compact funding resulting from the second step-down. The nation was also beginning to con­ sider the implications of the Compact economic assistance negotiations that were looming on the horizon. That first round of Summits was instrumental in changing the mindset prevalent at the time, es­ pecially in consolidating the realization that the public sector could no longer be relied upon to be the leading provider for the goods, services, and livelihood of the peoples of the FSM. It was clear that the FSM would need to reduce its reliance on external assistance and that the private sector would need to be the leading force in securing needed economic growth and jobs. Cou­ pled with the broad development principals adopted at the FSM-wide level, the state summits also under went a more detailed planning process. Each state formed a core group of sector committees (agriculture, fisheries, education, health, etc.), which identified key sector objectives, strategies to achieve the objectives, and sets of projects and programs that would be adopted to implement the strategies. The policy objectives of the 1st FSM Economic Summit were implemented throughout the pe­ riod 1996-1999. The second Compact step-down entailed a severe reduction in external funding and required a series of painful adjustments implemented through the Public Sector Reform Pro­ gram (PSRP). The major component of the PSRP was the implementation of an Early Retire­ ment Program (ERP), but this was supplemented through a series of supporting programs aimed at restructuring the public sector and providing an environment more supportive to private sector development. As the PSRP neared completion it was decided to convene a 2nd FSM Economic Summit during September 1999, to maintain the reform momentum as the nation entered into negotiations for the renewal of the Compact with the U.S. The 2nd Summit adopted a similar structure although Kosrae state was the only state to conduct a state version. However. while the first Summit had been landmark in changing the mindset of the nation, the timing of the 2nd Summit coincided with a substantial element of reform fatigue resulting from the painful fiscal adjustments just completed. With the fiscal situation largely stabilized and concentration focus­ ing on the Compact economic negotiations. the timing was not conducive to maintaining signifi­ cant reform momentum The structure of the 2nd Summit largely followed the first, although each sector was presented with a draft strategic policy matrix. entailing a hierarchy of policy elements, strategies to attain the objectives. and series of programs and activities. To monitor and ensure implementation the Economic Policy Implementation Council (EPIC) was created during the Summit deliberations. At the first few meetings EPIC was presented with an update of the progress with the implemen­ tation of the policy matrices. but this was shortly abandoned as other more critical issues cap­ tured the attention of the Council. The creation of EPIC was a milestone in the development of policy in the FSM. However, early progress in monitoring the implementation the Summit reso­ lutions and sector matrices was not maintained. -150 3"' FSM Economic Summit While the nation had tmdergone a rotmd of two sets of Summits, behind the scenes each gov­ ernment was introducing a performance budgeting process. Instead of focusing attention on line inputs during budget hearings, legislators were now asked to review budgets by strategic goals, activities, and the deliveiy of outputs. Budgeting was becoming focused on deliverable results rather than purely on the line-item inputs purchased to attain the outputs. However, progress has been slow and after five years or more of implementation there remains considerable scope for improvement. Perhaps of greatest importance there is no comprehensive audit process to ascer­ tain if the outputs committed for deliveiy have, in fact, been produced. At the same ti.me as the FSM was making its first attempt to introduce performance budgeting and management of public sector resources, the new arrangements tmder the Fiscal Procedures Agreement (FPA) of the amended Compact requires performance budgeting and reporting. The new FP A, in effect, requires that the FSM implement performance budgeting. Importantly it is up to the FSM to design the specific elements of the system. The system proposed to achieve compliance is outlined in these notes and has been addressed in a series of leadership meetings and conferences of budget and finance officials in the FSM. While adopting many of the fea­ tures of the previous systems the key difference is identification of quantifiable performance measures that can be used to clearly monitor the attainment of a strategic goals (by measuring outcomes) and the deliveiy of goods and services (by measuring outputs).

In the system being adopted by the FSM, each functional sector has a "Mission Statement". The mission statement is a broad statement of the sector's objectives. As an example using the private sector, the mission statement proposed is: to facilitate the development of an environment supportive of a competi­ tive and growing private sector, and in the case of health: to promote and maintain a holistic sys­ tem of health care that will provide an optimum quality of life for its citizenty. Mission state­ ments are broad statements of principle and will not likely change significantly over the planning period. Beneath the statement of mission "Strategic Goals" have been defined as broad areas of critical importance. In the case of the private sector, the first strategic goal is: to create a sound eco­ nomic policy environment to support outward-oriented, private sector-led growth, while the sec­ ond is: to improve the competitiveness of the factors of production to promote private sector de­ velopment. In the development of the strategic planning system in the FSM it was found desir­ able to permit a further layer of definition of public policy, which has been simply referred to as "Policy". In many, but not all, cases these involve legislative action. Retmning to our private sector example and in the case of the first strategic goal there are four associates policies: -The Strategic Planning & Bu4get System 151 • ELEMENTS OF THE SYSTEM • • The Demand Side: Desired Outcomes of Public Policy The critical starting point in any system of government is to define the key desired outcomes of public policy and public expenditure. Figure 1 indicates the elements and hierarchy of the plan­ ning and budgeting system under discussion. On the left-hand (demand) side of the system are broad areas of public policy: sector mission statements, strategic goals, and policies. While not exhaustive, in the 3rd FSM Economic Summit nine sectors working groups have been identified: ► Private Sector Development ► Public Sector Management ► Education ► Health ► Agriculture ► Fisheries ► Tourism ► Environment ► Gender Note: Infrastructure hM been addressed through lengthy and participatory preparation of the Draft Infrastructure Development Plan (IDP). The IDP will be reviewed and possibly amended by a special sub-committee of sectoral representatives. Each sector will be Mked to review sec­ tor-specific components of the IDP to ensure consistency with the strategic planning matrices. • 151 0 ' ' SECTION 5. NATIONAL OUTCOME INDICATORS Measuring the progress toward the set goals of the nation is paramount. This measurement is planned (in the SOP) to be carried out at two levels: Performance measures at the "outcome" level and performance measures at the "output" levels (see Appendix C). The environment sector has fifty one (51) performance measures at the outcome level for the nine strategic goals. Some of the outcomes have already been accomplished during the first five year of the amended compact. Tracking and monitoring the progress of these many performance measures requires large resources and time. It has been proposed to develop less numbers of performance measures (sometimes refer to as indicators) that are more encompassing but can truly gauge the progress toward the strategic goals. The following are recommended minimal indicators that can be monitored to measure progress toward the nine strategic goals, and also provide information toward our progress on the UN Millennium Development Goals (MOGs): 1. Ratio of projects having EIA: 100% target by 2020 2. Number of households having access to safe drinking water. The FSM target is 100% by 2020. 3. Number of households having access to proper wastewater disposal. The FSM target is 100%by2020 4. Number of household having access to proper solid waste disposal. 100% target by 2020 5. Renewable energy 0, 6. Genetic Resources 7. % Terrestrial area under effective management. Target 20% by 2020 8. % Marine area under effective management. Target 30% by 2020 9. Environmental Awareness Improved Measure by survey. Target 90% by 2020 10. % of invasive species eradicated. Target 50% by 2020 11. % of amount generated locally to finance environment work. Target to reach x amount by 2020. 12. % of environment employees with college degrees. Target 80% by 2020. It is recommended that the baseline year to use should be the year 2000. This is due to the fact that critical data generated during the 2000 Census especially on household are vitally important. The conduct of census every after ten years should help in generating data on the performance measures. The Strategic Planning & Budget System 153 ► Maintain fina.ncial stability. ► Improve fiscal accountability, transparency and performance management systems. ► Establish an effective system to dissemina.te information and promote public-private sector dialogue. ► Adopt trade and tax policies consistent with improving the intemationa.l competitive- ness of FSM-based producers. Having carefully defined the set of strategic goals and policies for a particular sector, it is neces­ smy to have some method of determining it: over time, they have been achieved. To do this we define the term "Outcome". An outcome is a quantifiable measure (sometimes referred to as a performance measure) of a particular strategic goal. An outcome must be quantifiable. There may be more than one outcome measure for a particular strategic goal. Returning to our ex.ample of the private sector the outcomes for the first strategic goal are: ► Fiscal stability is maintained fjiscal balance as % of GDP for each government and consolidated] ► Externa.l debt remains at prudent levels [(a) total external debt as % of GDP, (b) debt service as % of total export of goods and services J ► Tax policy does not discourage intemationa.lly competitive production [(a) average effective tariff rate on Imports, (b) import taxes as% of total taxes] ► Export production increases[$ value of exports] ► Tourism sector grows [number of tourist arrivals] Finally, in the case of outcomes we need to distinguish three levels. First is the original level or "Baseline Level" from which we wish to evaluate performance during the planning period. Then there is the established "Target Level." It is understood that the target will be set on the basis of the level of resources available to influence improvements and/or the level of political will to make needed policy changes. The third level is the "Actual Level'' at some future point of evaluation. Through the process of monitoring (and perhaps audit) there will be a comparison of targeted versus actual achievement of the outcome measures. The Supply Side: Provision of Public Sector Goods and Services So far the discussion has talked of the objectives of public policy, but it has not indicated how the strategic goals, policies and outcomes are to be attained. In the strategic planning approach the objectives of policy are achieved through the delivery of public goods and services produced with public funds and human resources. Government departments may deliver the services or they may be produced by the private sector under contract. In either case, managers in the pri­ vate or public sector are given access to ftmds and resources, and are effectively contracted to undertake a set ofwell-defmed activities and to deliver specified outputs. In the FSM there is as yet very limited use of contractual relations in the provision of public goods as exists in other parts of the world. However, the FSM is implementing in practice a nascent form of what is sometimes referred to as the "purchaser-provider'' model. Figure 1 also indicates the hierarchy of activities and deliverable outputs on the right-hand or "supply" side of the diagram. For each strategic goal there may be one or more activities that can result in the attainment of the goal. "Activities" are the programs, processes and tasks tmder- 153 154 r' FSM Economic Summit taken by a department or agency and leading to the accomplishment of the strategic goal. "Out­ puts" are produced and delivered by the department or agency as a direct result of their activities. Properly specified, outputs must be quantifiable. Importantly, the delivery of outputs must also be within the direct and immediate control of the managers responsible. For example, in the pri­ vate sector example under the first strategic goal: "to create a sound policy environment to sup­ port outward-orientated, private sector led growth" there are several activities: ► Formulate and implement sound economic policies ► Improve financial management quality and timeliness to better support private sector development ► Proceed with tax reform agenda at national and state levels ► Expand public information dissemination on key indicators and establish improved public-private sector dialogue In tum associated with each of the above activities there are groups of outputs. In the case of the first activity several outputs have been identified: ► Complete annual FSM Economic Review including review of PSD progress (1) ► Complete annual State Economic Reviews (4) ► Complete annual Economic Briefing/or FSM Government at JEMCO meeting {l) ► Complete annual Compact Report (1) ► Etc ... Each output is quantifiable and its delivery is under the control of the responsible manager. For each output there corresponds two performance measures: a "target level," for and the "actual level" attained during the reporting period. Outputs differ in nature from Outcomes. Outputs come under the direct control of the responsi­ ble agencies and will be measured as often as monthly or quarterly. In the case of outcomes it is likely that their measurement will be less frequent and the movement of the outcome measure will be affected by many factors that are outside the control of the manager. In the above exam­ ple, the output defined as the preparation of annual economic reviews is the direct responsibility of staff working in the Department of Economic Affairs. Given sufficient resources they can (and should) deliver the target level. On the other hand, the attainment of the Outcome of fiscal stability, as measured by the deficit as a share of GDP, will be influenced by variety of factors, such as legislative appropriation levels, unanticipated revenue shortfalls, and other factors that are beyond the control the Department concerned. In the strategic planning exercise it is critical that the concepts of Outcomes and Outputs are clearly distinguished. Organizations • Organizations are defined in the system as the units that undertake the required activities and produce the deliverable outputs. Organizations will frequently be governments, their depart­ ments and agencies; although the private sector or non-government organizations (NOOs) may also be considered as an organization. Usually in a government there may be many levels, from the departmental level, to divisions, and subordinate sections. Any of these elements in the sys­ tem may contribute to the delivery of a given activity and there need not be a unique relationship between an organizational unit and an activity. For example both the education and health de-- -The Stralegic Planning & Budget S)stem 155 partrnents may be jointly responsible for an activity to improve health education and awareness in the outer islands. While there is a need for integration of planning and coordination of activi­ ties, practical considerations need to be taken into account. Where there is such overlap, it is quite likely best for an activity to appear in both the education and health sector policy· matrices, and subsequently in the performance budgets of both the education and health departments of a particular government. This will simplify monitoring and reporting. Resources and Inputs In order for organizations to undertake activities and deliver outputs, access to resources is re­ quired. Governments may appropriate funds for outlays on payroll, purchase of goods and ser­ vices, subsidies, transfers, and capital items. These outlays or expenditures are often referred to as inputs, and these were the center of focus of traditional line-item budgeting. In performance budgeting attention is directed to the activities and outputs in order to achieve an agreed upon strategic goal. In the full-blown purchaser--provider model, the legislative body will appropri­ ate the needed resources (acting as a purchaser) for specific strategic goals and the organizations (acting as providers) will undertake the activities and deliver the outputs which, taken together can be reasonably expected to lead to achievement of the strategic goals. 155 0 156 3"' FSM Economic Summit r\ THE FSM STRATEGIC PLANNING PROCESS The Strategic Development Plan The FSM Strategic Development Plan (SDP), while similar to many development-planning exer­ cises, is specifically designed with detailed implementation in mind. The plan outlines a list of key strategic goals. However, associated with each strategic goal is a set of outcome perform­ ance measures through which it will be possible over time to monitor the success of the plan. The FSM SDP goes further in that it also outlines the activities and deliverable outputs, which, under reasonable assumptions, can be expected to lead to the achievement of the identified stra­ tegic goals. To each output is also associated a quantifiable performance measure, so that during plan execution it will be possible to monitor if the activities and outputs have been fully imple­ mented. During the ongoing monitoring process it will be possible to determine if the SDP strategic goals have been achieved; furthermore, over time it will be possible to improve the accuracy of cost estimates to deliver specified levels of outputs. If the outcomes have been achieved it will be possible to fine-tune 1he delivery of activities in the most cost effective way. If, however, 1he outcomes have not been achieved, managers will first be asked if they undertook the planned ac­ tivities and delivered the target level of outputs. If not, why not? If the activities were under­ taken and the outputs were delivered as targeted, then reviewers (e.g. legislators and senior pol­ icy makers) will need to look deeper into why 1he expected impact on 1he outcome measure did not occur. In other words, the SDP provides a means not only to monitor progress, but a means 0 over time to improve the management of public sector resources. The FSM Strategic Development Plan will be comprised of a set of sector chapters. The layout of each chapter has been designed according to a specific template. Each chapter begins with a review of the sector, including: an assessment of 1he current situation and sector performance, analysis of problems, issues and constraints, and assessment of the sector's development poten­ tial. Building on the introductory review, the second section presents the sector strategic goals, which are supported by a descriptive rationale. Each strategic goal has been further elaborated if needed through appropriate sector policies. In order to assess performance in attainment of the strategic goals, a list of the associated outcome performance measures has been presented and is discussed at the end of the section. In the case of the FSM SDP the outcome baseline and target measures have been specified where it is meaningful to do so at a national level. Since many outcomes are state specific, the associated baselines and targets have frequently been left un­ specified. The 1hird section details the sector Strategic Planning Matrix (SPM), and indicates 1he activities and outputs associated with each strategic goal (see Appendix I.) The SPM is the heart of 1he strategic plan and provides a working manual for each sector. Since activities and outputs are state specific 1he associated targets have only been specified when meaningful. The fourth sec­ tion describes the SPM and the linkage between activities and outputs with the strategic goal. The linkage indicates how the delivery of the activities and outputs is assumed to contribute to the attainment of a strategic goal. This section also provides an assessment of linkage risks and weaknesses to facilitate the anticipated ex post performance evaluation efforts. Finally a fifth The Strategic Planning & Budget System 151 section references the Infrastructure Development Plan (IDP), and identifies the list of infrastruc­ ture projects that are critical to the fulfillment of the sector strategy. The list distinguishes be­ tween those projects whose major function is to directly support sector development and those whose purpose is indirect or crosscutting. A critical element in the preparation of the Strategic Development Plan is the convening of the third FSM Economic Summit. The Third Summit is planned to breakout into sector committees, which will have access to the draft chapters and strategic planning matrices. Each committee will debate the SPM in detail scrutinizing element by element with the intention of determining an acceptable matrix for the FSM that has wide endorsement from all states of the federation. On finalization of the Third Summit the recommendations of the sector committees and revised matrices will be presented to the Summit for endorsement and subsequent integration into the SDP. Planning in the Federation: Need for State Variance While the FSM SDP provides a blueprint for the nation's development, many elements of the plan will have been deliberately generalized to allow for variation across the four states. It is hoped that there can be coherence and relative uniformity wherever possible and whenever ap­ propriate. However, it would make nonsense of the planning process to insist that a "one-size­ fits-all" approach could possibly work for all five of the national and state governments. Thus, while it is expected that there can be broad agreements on mission statements, strategic goals and the outcome measures of each strategic goal, it is fully understood that the five governments will fine-tune where needed to fit their specific needs. Since baseline levels differ across the states, surely target levels will be set differently. Where one state may place greater priority (and re­ source allocation) to achieve a greater improvement in, for example, infant mortality rate im­ provements; another may have already made progress in that area and want to focus on reducing the prevalence of certain lifestyle diseases. The FSM planning and budgeting system will be uniform as a "process." It should lead to greater accountability and improved allocation of scarce public resources. But at the same time it will enable each of the five governments to "demand" public goods and services according to the pri­ orities of the legislative bodies and policy makers. It is therefore anticipated that each state will develop its annual performance budgets using as a guide the outcomes of the 3rd FSM Economic Summit and the FSM SDP. It may be the case that one or more states will develop their own state-level SDP following in line with the FSM SDP. Whether each state will opt for a participa­ tory process such as a Summit is for each state to decide. The Annual Budget Process Finally, the implementation of the FSM SDP will take place through the annual budget process. The budget will draw on the plan for direction and in particular from the identified strategic goals and policies. The list of activities and outputs, which may be undertaken in phases and de­ livered over a number of years, will require detailed specification for the upcoming budget year. While the SDP will clearly indicate the direction of development policy over a number of years, it is not intended to be cast in stone and it is anticipated that annual budgets may depart from the direction planned as circumstances necessitate. 157 0, 158 Y" FSM Economic Summit 0 GLOSSARY OF TERMS Activity: Programs, processes. tasks, and what a department does that, if achieved, will lead to accomplishing the strategic goal; activities can be specified as major service ar~ or group­ ings of related services. Infrastnacture Development Plan (IDP): the IDP is the FSM's long-term planning document for public investment in infrastructure. The document has been drafted to cover a 20-year period; while recognizing that priorities outlined and the specific projects in each sector will be updated through the annual budget process. The IDP is comprehensive in that it covers all anticipated sources of investment, including local revenues, Compact sector grants, and other donor finance. With respect to Compact funding, the IDP is considered as a part of the De­ velopment Plan required under Compact section 211 (c) and specified in further detail in the Fiscal Procedures Agreement Article V (l)(e). Inputs: Financial and physical resources used to produce an 2Ytl'm1• Physical resources include human and material resources, typically measured in dollars such as salaries, cost of com­ puters, travel, or other expenses. Inputs were the focus of traditional line-item budgeting. Mission Statement: Describes what an organization currently does as its core function, how well it performs the function, for whom the function is provided, and when the function is provided. The mission does not often change. Outcome: The outcome is m~ured in order to indicate whether the strategic goal was accom­ plished. The outcome can also be considered the impact or the change attributable to an in­ tervention, such as an action or P!'W(ffiS (e.g. policy, program, project, investment). It is 0 noted that the outcome may be affected by factors outside of the control of the manager as­ signed to achieving improvements. There are three "levels" of outcome ~ures that will be collected and reported: ► Baseline level: ~urement at the outset of the planning period; required to establish the level from which improvements will be made ► Target level: Number that indicates the level to which improvements are planned for during a specified planning period (perhaps 3-5 years). ► Achieved level: Number that indicates the actual change in the outcome ~ure during the planning period. This may be measured at periodic intervals as part of the budget monitoring and reporting process. Outputs: Units or quantity of work completed or delivered. Work completed includes goods and services provided by the government such as number of patients seen at the hospital, number of tickets issued, number oflicenses revoked, or number of grant reviews completed. In the FSM budgeting system, the Output is the lowest level that may be associated with costs or budgets. It is also clear that the delivery of the output must be under the immediate and direct control of the manager assigned. During the budget formulation process, outputs may be developed based on actual outputs produced in previous years as well as historical data on costs. Improvements in efficiency would be demonstrated by achieving more outputs for the same cost or the same level of outputs with reduced costs. There are two "levels" of output ~ures that will be collected and reported: 0 The Strategic Pla,ming & Budget System 159 ► Target level: quantity of the deliverable outputs expected (committed) to be produced during the planning period (usually annual, broken down by quarter). ► Achieved level: quantity of the deliverable outputs actually produced during the planning period. Performance Measure: quantifiable measures that can be collected in a consistent and reliable manner. In the FSM system, performance will be measured at two levels: outcome measures to determine achievement of (long-term) strategic goals; and output measures to verify the delivery of (committed) outputs (units of work). Over time measures of efficiency (unit cost measures) may also be added to the system. Policy: A course or method of action selected from among alternatives, and in light of given conditions designed to guide and determine present and future decisions and actions; a course of action, gu!ding principle, or procedure considered to be expedient, prudent, or advantageous. Strategic Development Plan (SDP): The document which outlines the FSM's broad economic strategy and sectoral development policies. The SDP is comprised of descriptive narratives of each sector and the SPM for each sector. In addition to being the primary national eco­ nomic planning mechanism of the FSM, the SDP also provides the means of complying with the requirement under the Amended Compact section 211 (c) to prepare and maintain a "Multi-Year Rolling Development Plan." As indicated therein, "the Development Plan shall be strategic in nature . . . updated through the annual budget process." Strategic Planning Matrix (8PM): a matrix or table used to present in summary form a sector's planning framework and including: mission statement, strategic goals (and policies), activi­ ties, and outputs. 0 Strategic Goal: High level, long term goals established in the FSM economic summit that drive the performance-based budget. What an organization needs to achieve to fulfill its 5-1 O year strategy for mission accomplishment. The strategic goal will likely be stated in such a man­ ner that it is not in itself measurable; however, one or more outcome measures should be identified for each Strategic Goal to determine progress along the way and to ultimately de­ termine if the strategic goal is achieved. - 159 APPENDEXB ENVIRONMENT SECTOR OUTCOMES Strategic Goal 1: Mainstream environmental considerations, including climate thange, into national polices and planning as well as in all economic development activities Outcomes 1.
