Adjustments are necessary to follow the actual needs of the area in
concern, to react to changes in the frameworks, the political aims or
the general conditions. They are needed to integrate new partners and /
or projects or to eliminate identified “unrealistic aims”. So
adjustments are simply necessary to keep the flexibility of the process
and to guarantee the maximum success or impact. The flexibility is
needed to react on changing situations and/or to involve new partners.
In many ENTRUST cases there are instruments or structures for regular
adjustments, e.g. annual conferences in Copenhagen with the national
level to “adjust unrealistic aims”, regular evolvement of action plans
in the Neighbourhood-management areas in Berlin, regular updates of the
regeneration-concept in Hamburg or annual programme impact assessment
in Vilnius.
If one sees the regeneration-process as a ‘learning system' or a
‘reflexive process' opportunities to feed back experience and results
into the process are needed. And this could mean e.g. that one has to
adjust aims if one realises that they are not realistic, not achievable
or not feasible.
A precondition for adjustments is that one has sufficient instruments
to monitor and evaluate the regeneration process, because first of all
one has to identify e.g. the unrealistic aims. This issue and the
existing instruments are described below.

To keep the regeneration process as a ‘reflexive process' and to
guarantee maximum success or impact, means and methods to adjust aims
during the programme implementation are an important prerequisite. |
