Participatory decision-making involves taking stock of the findings of the Rapid scan in a workshop setting and using them (together with ideas of priority areas that may have emerged from the visioning exercises) as the basis for collective decisions over key priority areas to be addressed to enhance sustainability and resilience of the CRFS, key value chains, and associated data gaps to be filled. 

The decisions will form the basis of the in-depth assessment, with a view to being addressed through action planning. 

The following tools will help with participatory decision-making: 

Guidance: How to develop a vision and summary vision statement

An explanation of what visioning is, why it is needed, and who should participate, example visions and vision statements, and detailed guidance on the visioning process.  

Guidance: Developing the indicator framework  

The CRFS Resilience Indicator Framework is a practical assessment and planning tool to help explore the specific needs of different parts of the food system in relation to building resilience capacities to climate and pandemic-related shocks and stresses. 

Guidance: Reference CRFS Indicator Framework  

An explanation of the common monitoring framework design approach between the CRFS Sustainability indicator framework and the CRFS Resilience indicator framework, followed by description of each.
