Project governance and delivery structure
The Local Nature Recovery Strategy’s development must be evidence-led and collaborative, with wide involvement of public, private and voluntary sectors. The work should be transparent and inclusive, with clear communications. A governance and delivery structure has been created to ensure that the Kent & Medway Local Nature Recovery Strategy:
- meets the requirements of the regulations and statutory guidance;
- benefits from the knowledge and expertise within the county, to ensure it is technically sound; and
- engages all stakeholders along the way, so there is the support and buy-in that will be required to see the successful delivery of the Strategy’s priorities.
