Next steps

Next steps

Hello there,

The thesis was submitted last week, but the project is not finished yet. Next steps are to create an instrument that will help Ecohabitats Foundation and Association of Northwestern communal actions of Popayan (Community committee “local stakeholders”) for planning and decision making processes to out-scaling CSA.

This week I had a few meetings in the relation of this new instrument, and finally, it seems that it will be a set of different files organised in themes. Those themes will include the different indicators calculated during the research thesis and its correspondent graphs with comments. The idea is that when Ecohabitats Foundation and/ or the community committee need to propose a new project or have different meetings related to help them to scaling-out CSA, they will be able to create a specific set of files according to which are the indicators relevant to those meetings. This instrument was thought to be more specific-relevant to each case instead of having a unique file with all the indicators.

Next week it will be a Skype call with Ecohabitats Foundation to hear their opinion before going ahead with this instrument. In two weeks time, I will have a meeting with the community committee to talk with them face to face and hear their voice about this new instrument.

Oh! Next Friday (7th of September) I will be presenting my thesis to the MScCCAFS Conference. It would be a pleasure to be there with my colleagues, but as I am still in Colombia, so I will present it remotely from here.
