Project Framework
Priorities:
Source: Sun Moksha
This strategic approach, guided by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, was designed and developed as a Theory of Change by Sun Moksha and applied to our project plans and framework development.
Adapted from Theory of Change – Sun Moksha6
A proven and successful process that respects indigenous communities, the project framework accounts for:
- Attention to and acknowledgement of traditional knowledge bearers and stewards of natural capital.
- Diversity of thought and perspectives on valuation methodologies while employing best practices.
- Benefit sharing models of the proceeds to enable long-term sustainability of systems and infrastructure development, implementation, and monitoring.
Further guided by the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration – Principles of Restoration, Standard Blue is committed to best practices that aggregate into five components: assessment, planning and design, implementation, sustained management, and long-term monitoring/evaluation.
