Serengeti General Management Plan

Another priority for this Programme is to achieve best practice in park administration and
management systems. The first action to achieve this will be to build the capacity and motivation
of SENAPA staff - through relevant training, the provision of better medical services,
and improved education opportunities for staff and their dependents. Other management actions
include completing the integration of administration functions between Fort Ikoma and
Seronera, the installation of computerised financial accounting, and the development of innovative
systems for transparently collecting and monitoring revenue.
3-Year Action Plans
This section provides the initial 3-year Action Plans for each of the four management programmes.
These plans provide a clear and consolidated summary of the management actions
to be carried out under this GMP, the timeframe on which they will occur, the input requirements,
and responsibility for implementation. Where appropriate, each action described
under the management programme has been broken down into a series of 3-year activities
to facilitate the action’s implementation and to aid their incorporation into the Park’s Annual
Operations Plans.
Monitoring Plan
A GMP monitoring framework makes up the final section of this document. The framework is
designed to provide guidance for the regular assessment of the impacts, positive and negative,
resulting from the implementation of the major management targets and actions laid out
in this GMP, and a basis for subsequent adaptive management. The framework includes
easily assessable indicators for measuring these impacts. Monitoring of GMP impacts is a
key aspect of the ultimate success of the plan, in ensuring that the overall benefits from the
implementation of this GMP are maximised, and that any negative impacts are appropriately
mitigated.
