Purpose: Develop the full scope of activities performed by listing the costs for each activity and the appropriate allocation of effort and focus.
Addressing geographical scopes and Nation-to-Nation considerations
The scope of your CBWM activities may be wider than your capacity can cover in your business case evaluation, as tool 1a addresses. During your analysis, conflicts regarding data collection or the geographical scope of your monitoring efforts may be revealed – for example, if the area in question is contested between two Nations. This may bring about legal issues, resulting in added costs. This is why nurturing genuine partnerships is so important – for Indigenous and non-Indigenous groups – as collaboration and mutual respect is effective risk management to enable shared stewardship. These risks should also be highlighted and mitigated with a thorough impact assessment prior to starting your CBWM program.
