- DATA REVIEW: To assess the biophysical and economic valuation data and identify any gaps using the TEEBAgriFood Evaluation Framework.
- SCENARIO ANALYSIS: To determine the impact of proposed policy reforms against business-as-usual with respect to ecosystem services.
- THEORY OF CHANGE: To take forward two (or more) scenarios for policy intervention and guide their implementation.
- KNOWLEDGE-SHARING, OUTREACH AND CAPACITY BUILDING: To carry out dissemination and capacity-building activities so as to enhance engagement, credibility and uptake.
