A Workshop to Explore Sustainability • We want to know how to improve our understanding of sustainable development indicators and how we can best assess progress (or not). • We want to hear from you in relation to Uganda. • One way of assessing sustainability is by the use of indicators 2
What is? How might we get there? What might be? Simply .. We need to know.. 3
Tasks and Issues Rich Pictures Systems of Challenges Review/ Reflection Gaining definition Scenarios Visions Of change A seven process workshop
Process 1. Now we invite you to .. • Produce a Rich Picture of your vision of sustainable development and the indicators needed to assess progress. • Include all relevant Structures and Processes • This enables you to capture your context in a cartoon like diagram • Important elements of the context you are interested in • Things that you need to take into account in planning any possible future 5
Here are two more from POINT…Malta and Slovakia End of process 1. 7
Process 2. Next.. • From the Rich picture draw out • Some major tasks that need to be addressed • and\or: • Some major issues which need to be taken into account • Sustainable Development in Uganda (what it is, what is important or unimportant, what are the indicators to assess progress, how do we use the indicators, who should use them, what may prevent us from using them?) 8
Task 1 Task 2 Issue 1 Issue 2 Task 3 Task 4 Issue 3 Task 5 Issue 4 Issue 5 Issue 6 Task 6 Issue 7 9
Process 3 . Challenges • Consider the tasks and issues • They should all be related to themes which are important to you.. • And then…

Some easy hits Task 2 Issue 2 Easier To manage Less Easy to manage Task 6 Issue 1 Task 4 Task 1 Issue 3 Task 5 Issue 4 Issue 5 Issue 6 Task 3 Issue 7 Less important More important
Difficult but also worth pursuing Task 2 Issue 2 Easier To manage Less Easy to manage Task 6 Issue 1 Task 4 Task 1 Issue 3 Task 5 Issue 4 Issue 5 Issue 6 Task 3 Issue 7 Less important More important
Next… • We will bring the tasks and issues together into challenges • See where the links and relationships are • See what is needed to deal with the challenges
Challenges Task 2 Issue 2 Easier To manage Less Easy to manage Task 6 Issue 1 Task 4 Task 1 Issue 3 Task 5 Issue 4 Issue 5 Issue 6 Task 3 Issue 7 Less important More important
Challenges • Clustered tasks and issues as challenges • Consider what they mean as a whole • For three or four challenges • Express them as a purposeful statement .. On another postit note – e.g. • “A system to achieve/ undertake/ address (tasks) and confront/ understand/ overcome (issues)” A system to … A system to … A system to … End of Process 3 A system to …
Process 4 – Moving from challenges to change • For as many challenges as you have time for (usually 3 or 4) • To change it – from challenge to improvement .. • Who is the Beneficiary (who is meant to gain)? • Who are the Implementers (who will do the work)? • What is the Transformation (what change is being brought about)? • What is the Assumption behind the transformation? • Who is the Owner? • What are the Constraints? • BITAOC End of Process 4
Process 5. Focus further • The intention of What might be for your context • 30 - 40 words • Summing up what and who will do what and why • A ’mission statement’ can be: A title Change, produced and developed by implementers for beneficiaries in order to achieve transformation within constraints, taking into account assumptions with responsibility held by owners. End of Process 5
Process 6. Scenarios • For each intention of change • How will the group? • Address the implications of the change? • Who needs to do What and When? • And what would a successful change look like? • Rich Picture of the intended change.
