Abstract
The Bureau of Land Management Socioeconomics Strategic Plan 2012-2022 is a national sectoral plan of the United States of America. Its main vision is relevant and credible socioeconomic information and tools are used in resource management decisions to strengthen the effectiveness of Bureau of Land Management (BLM) programs.
The goals to achieve this vision are Goal 1: Ensure that the BLM’s socioeconomic capabilities support legal mandates, management priorities, and program needs. This goal includes strategies to meet socioeconomic needs of BLM managers, consult with and respond to external constituencies, and provide socioeconomic support for policy and legal mandates; Goal 2: Manage the BLM’s internal and external socioeconomic capabilities to provide sound and cost-effective support for offices and programs. This goal includes strategies to enhance the BLM’s internal and external capacity to meet its socioeconomic needs; and Goal 3: Ensure that BLM employees can obtain and apply sound socioeconomic information relevant to their programs. This goal identifies actions to help field and program staffs understand and use socioeconomic information in their day-to-day work.
More specifically, the Plan aims to identify and prioritize changing needs for socioeconomic information and support by consulting regularly with BLM leaders, managers, and employees; provide socioeconomic support as required by legal mandates; develop socioeconomic information and procedures relevant to both field offices and the BLM’s constituencies; strengthen the BLM’s capacity to support tribal, state, and local governments’ community development initiatives; adapt socioeconomic methods and procedures to support emerging management needs; enhance the BLM’s internal capabilities to meet its current and emerging socioeconomic needs; build external relationships to complement the BLM’s internal socioeconomic capabilities; support the BLM’s socioeconomics staff through training, improved information sharing, and other professional development; coordinate support and funding across BLM programs to meet existing and emerging socioeconomic needs; develop policy and guidance for using socioeconomic information and analysis at the BLM; establish an effective quality assurance process to ensure that the BLM’s socioeconomic information and analysis are sound and unbiased; enhance communication and training to ensure the effective use of tools, models, and information; make effective use of existing knowledge by identifying and synthesizing available information in terms relevant for BLM staff; and develop tools to allow BLM employees without specialized expertise to access and appropriately apply socioeconomic information to meet program needs.
