How do we best protect public health and the environment in Region 3?

Policy (or strategic direction)= Values x Indicators

P olicy (or strategic direction): What shall we work on, Where shall we work, How should we work, V alues: What do we care about How much do we care about each “what”? I ndicators: What data best describes what we care about? P=VI What is it?

Data Collection Manager Geostatistical Indicators Module Fate and Transport Models Programmatic and Budget Decision Analysis Module P=VI How do we structure our analysis? (Multi Criteria Integrated Resource Assessment) MIRAMIRA
