iv)	timescales for implementation of the programme; and

v)	key performance indicators and performance targets for implementing the programme;

b)	to identify -

i)	the organs of state that will participate in implementing the programme;

ii)	the role of each of those organs of state in implementing the programme; and

iii)	the extent to which each of those organs of state will be involved in implementing the programme;

c)	to determine the capacity required for each of those organs of state to implement the programme;

d)	to determine the estimated cost of implementing the programme, including how and by whom implementation of the programme, or aspects of the programme, is to be funded and budgeted for; and

e)	to identify a department best suited to act as the coordinating department for the programme.
