2.1 Critical Initiatives
Identifying the critical initiatives
The roadmap focuses on the critical initiatives; they are the outcomes of our analysis, review and
stakeholder engagement consultation. While many initiatives being discussed, only those that
serve as waypoints, without which other initiatives cannot be proceeded, are considered critical.
As such, many initiatives, though of great importance, are not given top billing in this action plan.
This is a conscious decision on the part of the authors and helps focusing the discussion on the
most pressing matters.
