2.4. PROJECTS

RACAC prepared a Master Plan for the IAP in October 1995. The Master Plan defined the objectives of the IAP, outlined a strategic approach for achieving these objectives and specified a list of essential projects that needed to be conducted. Most of these projects related to the preparation of datasets and the development of assessment criteria and analytical systems.

The following table lists the projects undertaken and indicates where they are discussed in this report.
