Biodiversity Data Mobilization Course

A. Knowledge of the different elements that are part of a biodiversity data mobilization plan

Shows understanding of a few roles and tasks required in a solid mobilization plan, but is not able to differentiate who performs each task in the plan or mixes up the roles.

Understands many of the roles and tasks needed in a mobilization plan, but still misses links and interactions between them.

Understands the key tasks and roles needed in a mobilization plan and how they interact.

Can identify additional roles and task that may be needed for specific situations

B. Capacity to apply the different elements of a biodiversity data mobilization plan to a given institutional context (e.g. their own)

Can see how a few of the tasks and roles relate to a given institutional context, but has difficulties when the context changes even slightly from the generic references used.

Can see how most of the tasks and roles can be applied to a given institutional context, but still has gaps when the situation is different to the generic references used.

Can identify all relevant tasks and roles and how they can be translated to a given institutional context, even if the situation is not identical to the one in the generic references used.

Can apply the different elements of a mobilization plan creatively, incorporating new elements not found in the generic references used.

C. Ability to write/compose a clear planning document

Can gather raw material that would be the basis for a plan (e.g. as bullet points), but has difficulties translating this into a narrative.

Can construct a basic work plan, but lacks coherence between its elements.

Can write a coherent and well articulated document which includes all relevant elements of a work plan.

Can write concise plans, with effective summaries and increasing levels of detail

D. Capacity to evaluate a biodiversity data mobilization plan

Can identify a few elements of a generic mobilization plan in a given example, but has difficulties matching them to tasks and roles.

Can identify most elements of a mobilization plan and match them to tasks and roles when they are identical to references used. Has difficulties assessing the feasibility of some elements of the plan.

Can recognize all existing elements in a mobilization plan, and can identify gaps, duplicated efforts, and inconsistencies. Can evaluate the quality of the individual components. Can evaluate potential points of success and weak points of the plan as a whole.

Can suggest solutions to fix issues identified in the plan evaluated.
