Aspect of SL |
What to check |
SL is supported by... |
SL is hindered by... |
| |
|
1) Governance Context of SL (indicator: availability of multi-party
interaction among all actors) |
- existence of institutions for multi-party interactions |
- e.g., multi-SH forums (such as advisory boards, panels or pilot
projects) that allow collaboration in different forms |
- no opportunity for interaction between interested parties. |
|
2) Outcome (indicator: character of outcome and implementation of
outcome) |
- formalized status of outcome
- actual uptake of SHs’ input and
their confidence in it
- attitude of all actors: how do they consider the
status of the outcome? |
- jointly developed outcome that is considered by the responsible
authorities |
- unclear status of outcome (binding/non-binding)
- very strong binding
nature of outcome constrains the openness of discussion process |
|
3) Social involvement—boundary management (indicator: process
boundary) |
- actors’ position on role of process for their work
- existence
of alternative processes
- continuity of participation in process
-
involved actors’ support of the process |
- identification of process as unique and necessary for RBMP in respective
basins
- actors perceive that all relevant parties participate in the
process |
- open process with changing participants
- alternative and independent
process (e.g., regional planning) with more importance for SHs
-
Other actors identify SHs who should but do not participate |
|
4) Content management (indicator: information flow) |
- confidence of SH in information flow
- direction of information flow:
who provides the information? |
- sufficient information flow on aims and objectives of process, including
nature of outcome
- information flow between all actors, not only from GO to
NGO |
- lack of information on role of SH participation
- information
overflow |
|
5) Social involvement—ground rules (indicator: diversity of
interaction) |
- availability of different forms of encounter (meetings, excursions,
project working groups)
- forms of interaction: possibility for informal
meetings (coffee breaks, dinners, excursions), e.g., presentations or room for
open discussion during meetings |
- different forms of interaction, e.g., roundtable meetings, informal
dinners, excursions...
- Space for discussion in addition to provision of
information; questions requiring clarification are answered; stereotypes/prejudices are openly discussed; |
- lack of diversity of exchange, e.g., only meetings for one-way information
flow |
