Sources of funding for the project were identified. At the second stage of the development of the road map, a plan of measures aimed at the realization of the set goals in the future was proposed, the key executors of the project and the necessary resource support were determined. The conditions of the normative and legal regulation of the project, the terms of implementation for each specific measure, the mechanism of action regarding the management and prevention of project risks are given. At the third stage, proposals for examination and approval of the road map, a plan for the implementation of the road map based on the evaluation of key indicators, and control over the implementation of the road map are defined.
