IIED is inviting partner organisations in up to 10 developing countries in different regions of the world to undertake country surveys. These will comprise a mix of literature review, semi-structured interviews, focus group meetings, round tables and workshops.
Survey process
Each will be designed to suit local contexts and circumstances, but with the broad aim to gather user perspectives on tools and tactics for environmental integration/mainstreaming, eg Which tools are used/avoided? What criteria drive such choices? Such baseline information will be harnessed through a range of mechanisms:
A simple generic questionnaire has been developed to guide diagnostic work and dialogues to identify the ‘top five tools’ that have been found to be the most effective in environmental mainstreaming and why they are effective; as well as the ‘top five’ problems associated with tools.
Partner organisations managing country surveys will use this questionnaire and customise it, eg translating it to local languages in some cases, or adding questions that have particular domestic relevance or importance.
The questionnaire will be distributed to potential respondents (eg via professional networks).
To engage in this work and contribute to the development of the user Guide, the questionnaire can be downloaded by [clicking here]. Please return it to UserGuide@iied.org.
The questionnaire will also be sent to selected individuals (across government, business and the private sector at national to local levels, as well as civil society users) to be completed prior to interviews. The questionnaire will provide a format/menu to allow interviewers to discuss key issues in depth with interviewees.
The results of each country survey will be synthesised in a country report. IIED will produce a synthesis of the outcomes for consideration by the International User Panel.
