Introduction• Write your answers to the introduction
questions on the post-it notes in front of you. • Only one idea per post-it.• You can use as many as you need.
1. What do you want to get out of this session?
2. What kind of work are you engaged in? Ex. planner? implementer? Researcher? Work with communities? National decision-making?
You just used one of the key techniques
of our participatory workshop:
- Sharing individual ideas as a group
- Clustering similar ideas together
- Identifying themes arising from the
group

Context
• Changing climate need for adaptation
• Increased international funds for climate change
• Uncertainty yet need to act• Simplified tools needed for immediate
actions by governments• What adaptation action are needed to build
resilience?
Science to Cultivate Change
Definitions
Resilience– “the capacity of a system to experience
shocks while retaining essentially the same function, structure, feedbacks, and therefore identify”
– Moving towards desired characteristics
– Adaptation as building resilience
1. Of what2. To what
3. Over what time frame4. From whose
perspective(Helfgott, 2011)
Science to Cultivate Change
• Identity should be defined by those within the system in question
• Culture and identity are fluid
• Resilience depends on perspective
• Need to understand what is really important to communities
(Gary Larson, 1984)
“Anthropologists! Anthropologists!”
Science to Cultivate Change
Prioritizing and costing adaptation options - integral to planning and policy
Decision makers need tools that:1. select adaptation options and guide distribution of
funds effectively, efficiently, and appropriately
2. prioritize interventions from scientific and social perspectives
3. scale up processes, not prescriptions
4. take into account local context
5. measure impact reflective of on the ground realities
Science to Cultivate Change
Need to understand costs and benefits
Currently: Top-down studies often underestimate adaptation costs and benefits
Goal: Develop a bottom-up costing framework to complement existing approaches to inform policy
Science to Cultivate Change
Participatory Social Return on Investment (PSROI)
Community-Based Climate Change Adaptation Prioritization, Planning, and Costing
PSROI is a novel framework that combines innovative participatory
methods and the SROI costing framework

Core Principles• Systemic approach
• Stakeholder-centric
• Participatory prioritization
• Strength based - matches CC interventions with local resources
• Plan from a future Vision not a current or future Problem

PSROI Methodological Framework
(Sova et al., 2012)
Science to Cultivate Change
Uses of PSROI• Guide selection and planning of community
interventions• Track 1 Workshop: identify local values, adaptive
capacity (responses/strengths), priorities • Pilot studies to date have:
– assessed climate change adaptation actions, but can be a generally planning tool for development
– forecasted impact of adaptation (not
• Could use for evaluation and long term monitoring• Can assess ‘hard’ and ‘soft’ interventions• Community level currently – could be developed for
higher levels, limit = representation

THEORY track one
Integrated pluralistic theoretical and methodological frameworks:
(1) Resilience and Adaptation Theory
(2) Systems Thinking
(3) Strength-Based Development

Why we need participatory approaches
Risks of failing to understand the context of intervention and identify appropriate objectives:
• Interventions resulting in unexpected adverse outcomes
• Wasting resources on unachievable operational goals
• Inability to measure effectiveness(Helfgott, 2011)
Science to Cultivate Change
Participation
• The ladder of participation
• What level are you comfortable with for your project?
(Arnstein, 1969)
Participants can advise but not decide
Majority of decision-making and full managerial power

TRACK 1
Stakeholder Analysis:
(1) Gather basic demographic information
(2) Identify key informants and ‘gate keepers’
(3) Identify different groups within community
(4) Identify marginalized groups
(5) Invite representative group to workshop
(6) Continue analysis throughout workshop - include missed sectors in interviews

WORKSHOP DAY 1: Look to the Past
Community value mapping, perceptions of environmental change and coping mechanisms
Activity: What is important to you? (Clustering and ranking exercise)
Note: Largest group possible 15 minutes for reflecting and writing one idea per post-it note to allow similar ideas to be clustered. 1hr for clustering and discussing

WORKSHOP DAY1 (continued): PastCommunity value mapping, perceptions of environmental change and coping mechanisms
Activity: What environmental challenges are you facing/have you faced in the past? How have you coped so far?
Note: Post- it notes (challenges and possible responses). 1.5 hours for clustering and ranking of challenges and responses . If time allows, supplement with ‘event ecology’ narratives in story circles (1.5 hours).

WORKSHOP PART 3: PlanningBack Casting – How do we reach our vision of the future?
Activity: List adaptation strategies and tools which can take us from where we are now to where we want to go (3 groups, 20 minutes reflection ,40 minutes clustering)
ASK: Who will decide which strategies who uses? Why?
ASK: Where will we seek knowledge?
ASK: Where should resources come from to implement each strategy?
ASK: How do you see these interventions being situated in space and time?
Activity: Brainstorm all of the possible positive and negative impacts (incl. environmental) of these strategies, assign costs, identify barriers and opportunities ( 1hour)

“SROI is an approach to understanding and managing the social, economic and environmental costs and benefits of a project, organization or policy. It is based on stakeholders and use financial proxies to reveals the value of outcomes that do not have direct market values”
(Nicholls, Lawlor et al. 2009)
Science to Cultivate Change
TRACK 2
• SROI is NOT: A new economic theory (CBA, Proxies, NMV)
• SROI IS: A new way of gathering and displaying information for decision making

• Semi-structured interviews to collect data directly from stakeholders
• IMPACT MAP to store data associated with each stakeholder group

2. Bring in menu for technical design, limit community design
3. Cost from national level and limit local costing to verification of outcomes / inputs / indicators
1. Cost key variables
2. Cost locally when outcomes are new
4. Only cost locally when local knowledge is base of intervention, limited understanding of intervention at national level.

Towards a Community Involvement Protocol
(Corner-Dolloff, C and J. Moll-Rocek, submitted)
Science to Cultivate Change
Conclusions• PSROI has immediate value for
• getting at the heart of what communities desire for
their future and what is needed for them to get there
• planning adaptation interventions to utilize allocated
funding
• evaluating impact over time of interventions
• its transferability to different regions, partners, and
governance structures
• local level assessments
• empowering communities through the process
Science to Cultivate Change
Conclusions
• Bottom-up vs. Top-down costing
• Include local communities as much as
possible in costing, but don’t always need to
conduct entire costing at the local level
• Research needed to finalize a protocol describing
when local information is essential for costing
• Community level planning and costing must
be integrated with cross level and cross
sector planning
