» SOs are multi-dimensional and trade-offs to be made » Among three strategic objectives » Global versus local concerns » Track progress » ‘Progress’ indicators » Harmonization versus standardization of indicators SO1: to improve the living conditions of affected populations SO2: to improve the condition of affected ecosystems SO3: to generate global benefits through effective implementation of the Convention
Tracking progress in meeting the SOs requires » an information and knowledge base » through an M&E approach » with interactive modules » Indicators ˃ Global ˃ National/local » Indicator sourcing and management mechanisms at global and national/local levels » Conceptual framework that allows integrating indicators Prerequisite: operational delineation of affected areas
