WP 3: Evaluating and improving
decision-making processes

The objective of this third work package is to critically assess analytical decision tools & participatory processes and to adapt them to specific case studies.

Its main tasks are

  • to give an overview analysis and evaluation of state-of-the-art analytical decision tools and participatory processes for issues of multi-level governance of natural resources.
  • to evaluate the cases along a common evaluation grid to recognise the strengths and weaknesses of actual multi-level governance. The interviews conducted in the second work package give first suggestions for this task.
  • to derive appropriate tools and processes for improving selected specific case studies from the overview evaluation and the wider picture of water and biodiversity governance.

Finally, a main outcome of this work package is the presentation of possibilities for using analytical tools & participatory processes in multi-level governance of natural resources.
