Review and Revision. Plan for a mid-term evaluation (typically at the 5-year mark for a 10-year Plan). Note that if an AEWA International Species Action Plan exists there are reporting requirements under the Agreement on progress made with respect to their implementation (i.e. the Report on the Implementation of AEWA Species Action Plans which is submitted to the AEWA MOP every six years, the triennial AEWA National Reports as well as the National Reports submitted under the Plan of Action for Africa). If, in addition, the implementation of such an International Plan is being coordinated by an AEWA International Species Working Group, reporting requirements on annual basis or to every meeting of the Working Group may also exist. In this case, it will be pertinent to schedule implementation stock- taking exercises of national Species Action Plans so that this information can feed into these wider international evaluations. As the Action Plan nears the end of its 10-year term a more extensive evaluation report should be produced against the indicators set out therein. This may lead to a decision to revise, extend or retire the National Species Action Plan. The decision-making flowchart below in Box 6 has been devised and adopted by the AEWA Technical Committee to visualise the thought process when it comes to deciding whether International Species Action Plans adopted under the AEWA should be recommended for revision, extension or retirement at the end of their tenures. This flow-chart can also support such discussions on national level. Species Action Plans which have served their purpose (i.e. their objectives have been achieved and the species in question has been returned to a favourable conservation status) should be formally retired.
