This simple tool is designed to be printed and used by a workshop facilitator, to help participants in a group map/assess the quality of transformative outcomes and constraints across a variety of case studies. TIPC has identified 12 transformative outcomes across three transformation macro processes. However, a key issue is assessing the quality of the … from Tool for transformative outcomes quality and constraint mapping

This extract from a workshop report shows how the tool for transformative outcomes quality and constraint mapping was used to work with case studies from Nairobi, Bogota and Kolkata, discussing informal settlements, governance of wetlands and mobility. Each of the groups was asked to analyse the transformative outcomes in terms of quality and the challenges … from Case study analysis through the lens of transformative outcomes

This tool was developed for the ‘Living Catchments’ experimental policy engagement, to facilitate the definition of indicators and support reflection on the transformative potential of the project’s theory of change. Practitioners from the South African National Biodiversity Institute and TIPC researchers worked together over several months to add a transformative layer to the project. They … from Definition of indicators to monitor evaluation of transformative outcomes: A proposal

In December 2021, the MOTION project, a collaboration of TIPC and EIT Climate-KIC, came to an end.
