Bahá’í Administration during the Five Year Plan

Local and Cluster Levels

During the Five Year Plan, the evolution of Bahá’í Administration was most marked at the cluster level. In clusters with an intensive programme of growth, at least 296 by the end of the Plan, a coordinating scheme was implemented providing for the appointment of cluster institute coordinators for children’s Classes, junior youth groups, and study circles. Area Teaching Committees were established to coordinate the deployment of human resources raised up by the institute in the teaching field. Close cooperation between the institute, the Area Teaching Committee, and the Auxiliary Board members and their assistants has significantly raised institutional capacity and stimulated growth at the cluster level.

In strong clusters across the world, especially those with intensive programmes of growth, a qualitative improvement was clearly apparent in the functioning of Local Spiritual Assemblies. Their number currently stands at about 8,700.

Regional 361/74, '1’ Council:

National and Regional Levels The National Spiritual Assembly of Iráq

was elected in 2004 for the first time since it was dissolved in 1972. In addition, a number of National Assemblies changed their status during the Plan. For example, the East and West Leeward Islands in the Caribbean were combined to form one National Spiritual Assembly and the Regional Spiritual Assembly of Slovenia and Croatia was dissolved and Administrative Committees formed in each country in anticipation of the formation of separate National Assemblies at a later date. As a result, there were a total of179 National Spiritual Assemblies in existence by the end of the Plan.

The number of National Spiritual Assemblies with Regional Bahá’í Councils has risen from 32 at the beginning of the Plan to 39 at the end of the Plan. Four of these Councils have crossnational boundaries. The formation of seven Regional Councils in Australia on the Day of the Covenant in 2001 marked the introduction of this element of Bahá’í Administration in the continent of Australasia. The total number of Regional Bahá’í Councils in the world rose from 138 at the beginning of the Plan to 164 at the end of the Plan.
