Monitoring And Evaluation • Research and development should be periodically revised and updated to be in line with the contemporary (current, constant) research paradigms . • Develop mechanisms (tools) to provide guidance for monitoring and evaluation of the research and development. 1 9

OTHER KEY CRITICAL ISSUES • Technical Research Skill (statistics etc). • National Standardisation of ACH sector concepts (Creative Industries versus Cultural Industries). • Definitions. 1 10
