SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY
Progress Report on 2001-2003 Strategy
Progress on the 2001-2003 SDS
This section outlines the progress DFO has made on its 2001-2003 SDS. This progress is discussed in terms of the following six elements:
- Themes are the key directions of the Department's 2001-2003 SDS.
- Goals are long term, strategic and high level. They establish an overall sense of direction and scope.
- Objectives are also long term and comprehensive, but they constitute intermediate steps in the direction of goals.
- Outcomes are the results the Department is seeking or the specific areas it intends to focus on.
- Planned activities identify what DFO intends to do, deliver or produce. These activities represent targets, and progress on each is described in terms of the measures defined in Annex B.
- Ultimate impacts are the high-level, positive effects on sustainable development that DFO hopes will follow from the implementation of its Strategy.
The themes, goals and objectives of the 2001-2003 SDS are shown in the figure below. All six elements are presented in Annex C, along with performance measures/indicators; a summary table of progress on planned activities appears in Annex D.
