Assessments of implementation were conducted in 2002 and 2010. The first concluded that there was a lack of coordination in implementation of the Action Plan and therefore a committee was established to oversee implementation and a government fund was created to facilitate it. The second assessment showed that, by 2010, 96 per cent of the planned activities had been concluded or were near completion.
