The workplan guides key next steps and actions throughout the Partnership to ensure progress and accountability. Where previous deliverables focus on characterizing air pollution and contextualizing air quality management, the Inception Report and Workplan lay out project specific management, organization, and concrete actions to reaching the ultimate goal decided by the stakeholders. These deliverables require focused back-and-forth communication between the Megacity and partners to determine appropriate options for collaboration and project details to move forward.   The outline below can be used as the template for any Partnership Inception Report and Workplan, with locally information and workplan activities to be added as indicated in italics below.\nTable of Contents\nMegacities Partnership Goals and Objectives\nInstitutional Roles and Responsibilities\nApproach and Methodologies\nResults of Data Collection and Initial Needs Assessment\nWork Plan and Proposed Timeline\nMegacities Partnership Goals and Objectives\nThe partnership sponsors [insert names] and megacity hosting agency [insert name] are collaborating under the Megacities Partnership to strengthen air quality management through policy development, community outreach, and stakeholder engagement; to support air quality monitoring initiatives; and to build technical capacity for scientific and economic analyses and communication planning in support of air quality management plan (AQMP) development.  The Megacities Partnership is action oriented – based on the premise that where pollution levels are high, it is very likely that initial measures to improve air quality can be identified and justified even where air quality and source attribution information is initially sparse and/or of low quality.  In addition, the process of developing an air quality plan is essential to identifying capacity and information gaps and provides a clear and evidence-based focus for future investments in capacity building, equipment investments, and regulatory and legal enhancements.\nWork to date has progressed from the overall goals of the Megacities Partnership to specific objectives that are responsive to the air pollution and institutional context in [megacity], and also are feasible to accomplish within time and budget constraints.  The proposed objectives are listed below:\nOutline city-defined objectives of Megacities Partnership as a result of the Inception Mission and Information Collection Report\nConfirm roles, responsibilities, and points of contact in the host agency, host city, and collaborating partners\nInclude detailed description of the agencies committed to dedicating time and resources towards the identified objectives. This should include points of contact, positions, and project responsibilities. Schematics showing the organizational structure of the partnership are helpful in illustrating the communication links between stakeholders.\nThe hosting megacity agency may elect to create additional, cross-agency working groups to undertake specific objectives of the partnership and/or an advisory committee to lead project management and overall direction. The members and responsibilities of the working groups should be discussed in this section. Example working groups could include:\nAn air quality management plan (AQMP) drafting group with members from the ultimate regulatory agency responsible for disseminating and implementing the AQMP\nAn impact analysis group with members from health agencies to focus on analyzing the health and economic benefits of the AQMP goals\nAn air quality measurement and planning group with members from loc","cbCaimhKfuZznbD1","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaimhKfuZznbD1","docx",213583,6,"English","# Megacities Partnership Goals and Objectives\n# Institutional Roles and Responsibilities\n# Approach and Methodologies\n# Results of Data Collection and Initial Needs Assessment\n# Work Plan and Proposed Timeline","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the Inception Report and Workplan in the Megacities Partnership?\",\"answer\":\"It outlines stakeholder relationships, presents data collection results and key data gaps, and sets a timeline of tasks and responsibilities.
