M&E for Conservation: From Results Chain to Data Model Training

About the Webinar

How does a conservation results chain become a working data model? Our first session introduced what makes conservation monitoring and evaluation distinct, and the frameworks that guide it. This session shows how that thinking becomes the design of a real information system.

In this session, we will be using a case study to illustrate how moving from a results chain to a data model looks in practice. We will see how each element of the results chain gets translated into forms, fields, and indicators in a data model.

We will discuss:

• Tracking nature and people together in one system
• Result types in the CMP Open Standards notation
• Building the results chain, and where indicators attach
• Turning chain elements into forms, fields, and indicators
• The finished data model, and what it produces

Is this Webinar for me?

• Do you work in conservation and are you interested in information management?
• Do you want to learn how to turn a conservation results chain into a data model?
• Do you need to report on ecological outcomes and community benefits in one place?
