Roadmap for Setting Up the Permanent Management Structure of the Citadelle, Sans-Souci, Ramiers National Historic Park (PNH-CSSR)

The roadmap is addressed to the Interministerial Management Committee (CIG) of the Citadelle, Sans-Souci, Ramiers national historic park and was prepared through consultation led by a liaison officer. It recalls that the park, created in 1978, is a World Heritage site facing clandestine cultivation, deforestation for charcoal, uncontrolled agriculture, intensive grazing, conflicts and institutional constraints, and that a provisional Park Management Authority (AGP) was set up in 2018 with support from the World Bank-funded PAST project.

It sets a vision of State-led management of the park with support from partners, and three axes: improve the governance of the interim AGP, put in place State funding for a permanent structure, and create a body with administrative and financial autonomy. The activities fall in three phases: transitional arrangements from 2021 to July 2022, launch of the permanent AGP in August 2022, and institution of the AGP as an autonomous body after 2025. Parts cover governance, a schedule, resource mobilization, and monitoring and evaluation.
