The outcomes of the management and the implementation of the actions identified in Step 4 should be monitored and assessed in order to learn more about the resilience of your system.
In this way, management can adapt to the sequence of events that occur, to early signs of degradation, and the changing environmental/economic/socio-political conditions. Monitoring also helps to understand how effective different actions are, and how they might be changed in the future (see the table below). Such learning may be a continual process, but a formal review may need to be scheduled to ensure that lessons are captured. It is important to ensure that information is collected and stored in ways which allow review and learning.
A useful exercise can be to examine a selection of priority threats and associated potential management actions from the previous step and compile a list of monitoring activities (some of which you may already conduct, others may be desirable).
Monitoring examples for Step 5
| Threat | Current monitoring | Desirable monitoring |

End of the workshopThe end of the workshop is a good opportunity to reflect upon what has been discussed. Sometimes the discussions themselves are the most valuable activity. You could ask different members of the team to give a reflection to the group. After the meeting it may be useful to provide a summary of the key discussion points for future reference. Other users of this framework have found it productive to arrange a follow-up meeting to review the assigned actions in Step 4. This meeting could also be an opportunity to discuss how to monitor and record as prompted, in Step 5. |
