FAN 1.2.4 Initatives to strengthen policies to foster agroecology, climate resilience and biodiversity

This indicator tracks the number of initiatives established or supported to strengthen policies, norms, and standards related to agroecology, climate resilience, and biodiversity. 

Initiatives:  An initiative in advocacy or policy dialogue refers to a systematic, mid- to long-term effort aimed at achieving a specific change, such as a legislative or regulatory shift. It typically involves a combination of activities, events, and efforts by one or more organizations working together. An initiative can be driven by a single entity or through collaborations in networks or alliances. Helvetas, for example, may support or co-lead such initiatives by facilitating, funding, or offering strategic support, but not through one-off events or actions. 

Strengthen: Improve the effectiveness, inclusiveness, transparency, accountability, and/or equity of educational policies, laws, regulations, and curricula.  

• National, regional or local

• Supported or established        

Initiatives that are either established (newly created) or supported (existing initiatives strengthened or expanded) that focus on fostering agroecology, climate resilience, or biodiversity.

• Project documents (initiative reports, policy documents, program records). 

• Records from supported organizations or government entities (if needed). 

• Surveys and interviews with stakeholders involved in the initiatives (for feedback on quality and relevance). 

Data should be collected continuously throughout the project, whenever activities are completed. 

Track initiatives throughout the project. Keep a record of all initiatives established or supported during the project, including policies, norms, standards, or regulations related to enhancing enhance inclusive policy, spaces, and/or services that prevent or reduce conflicts for more social cohesion. Gather project reports, policy documents, and relevant records from government or supported organizations to verify the establishment or support of initiatives.

If resources allow, conduct follow-up surveys or interviews with stakeholders involved in the initiatives to assess their impact and relevance.
