Provisions for the iterative phase Sample Clauses

Provisions for the iterative phase. Decision-making process: The actual process of adaptive decision-making entails decisions at recurring points in time that reflect the current level of understanding and take into account future scenarios and consequences of decisions. Decision-making at each decision point considers management objectives, resource status, and knowledge about consequences of potential actions. Decisions are then implemented by means of management actions on the ground. The plan should define who takes decisions and at which intervals. Follow-up monitoring: Monitoring provides information to estimate resource status, underpin decision-making, and facilitate evaluation and learning after decisions are made. Monitoring is an on-going activity, conducted according to the protocols developed in the set-up phase. The plan should include key arrangements for implementing and reporting the results of monitoring activities defined in the monitoring protocol. Assessment: The data produced by monitoring are used, along with other information, to evaluate management effectiveness, understand resource status, and reduce uncertainty about management effects. Learning is promoted by comparing predictions generated by the models with monitoring based estimates of actual responses. Monitoring data can also be compared with targets representing desired outcomes, in order to evaluate the effectiveness of management and measure its success in attaining management objectives. The plan should define who is responsible for conducting the assessment, the key assessment questions and arrangements for reporting.

The plan should define who is responsible for conducting the assessment, the key assessment questions and arrangements for reporting.  Learning and feedback: The understanding gained from monitoring and assessment helps in selecting future management actions. The iterative cycle of decision-making, monitoring, and assessment, repeated over the course of a project, leads gradually to a better understanding of resource dynamics and an adjusted and improved management strategy based on what is learned. The plan should also include provisions how to improve predictive models and adjust targets.  Institutional learning: Periodically it is useful to interrupt the technical cycle of decision-making, monitoring, assessment, and feedback in order to reconsider project objectives, targets, management alternatives, trade-offs, cost-benefits of the plan process and other elements of the set- up phase. This may be necessary because the socio-ecological system changes in a direction that was not originally foreseen and it may r...
