1. The Policy Cylce - Policy Implementation
Policy implementation phase:
• Theoretical ideas  practice
• Often neglected in policy process
• # of factors that prevent
successful policy implementation
 Identification and assessment of

2. Assessment: Four Themes

•
Adaptability of the EPI
• Adjustments to local particularities (ex-ante) and
following ex-post-implementation reviews
•
Public Involvement
• Public participation during choice, design and
implementation of the EPI
• Public acceptance of the EPI
• Role of dominant stakeholder groups
3. Assessment: Four Themes (con’t)
•
Institutional considerations

•
External Factors

Cooperation and coordination between institutions
Budgetary constraints
Syngeries and barriers with sectoral policies
Drivers of EPI implementation, e.g. droughts
(Lack of) standards and regulation, e.g. max. nutrient discharges in a
river basin
Sequence of implementation steps, e.g. reduction of overallocation of
water rights before introduction of water markets
