5. Science to Cultivate Change
Context
• Changing climate need for
adaptation
• Increased international funds for climate
change
• Uncertainty yet need to act
• Simplified tools needed for immediate
actions by governments
• What adaptation action are needed to
build resilience?
6. Science to Cultivate Change
Definitions
Resilience
–“the capacity of a system to experience
shocks while retaining essentially the
same function, structure, feedbacks,
and therefore identify”
–Moving towards desired characteristics
–Adaptation as building resilience
1. Of what
2. To what
3. Over what time frame
4. From whose
perspective
(Helfgott, 2011)
7. Science to Cultivate Change
• Identity should
be defined by
those within the
system in
question
• Culture and
identity are fluid
• Resilience
depends on
perspective
• Need to
understand what
is really
important to
communities
(Gary Larson, 1984)
“Anthropologists! Anthropologists!”
8. Science to Cultivate Change
Prioritizing and costing adaptation
options - integral to planning and policy
Decision makers need tools that:
1. select adaptation options and guide distribution of
funds effectively, efficiently, and appropriately
2. prioritize interventions from scientific and social
perspectives
3. scale up processes, not prescriptions
4. take into account local context
5. measure impact reflective of on the ground realities
9. Science to Cultivate Change
Need to understand
costs and benefits
Currently: Top-down
studies often
underestimate adaptation
costs and benefits
Goal: Develop a bottom-up
costing framework to
complement existing
approaches to inform policy
10. Science to Cultivate Change
Participatory Social Return on Investment
(PSROI)
Community-Based Climate Change Adaptation
Prioritization, Planning, and Costing
PSROI is a novel framework that
combines innovative participatory
methods and the SROI costing framework
Systemic approach
Stakeholder-centric
11. Science to Cultivate Change
Economic
Environmental
Social
Core Principles
• Systemic approach
• Stakeholder-centric
• Participatory prioritization
• Strength based - matches
CC interventions with
local resources
• Plan from a future
Vision not a current or
future Problem
12. Science to Cultivate Change
Partnership, Research, and Capacity

ONE: Kochiel, Kenya
TWO: Othidhe, Kenya
• 2011-2012: 7 field studies

15. Science to Cultivate Change
Uses of PSROI
• Guide selection and planning of community
interventions
• Track 1 Workshop: identify local values, adaptive
capacity (responses/strengths), priorities
• Pilot studies to date have:
– assessed climate change adaptation actions, but can be
a generally planning tool for development
– forecasted impact of adaptation (not
• Could use for evaluation and long term monitoring
• Can assess ‘hard’ and ‘soft’ interventions
• Community level currently – could be developed for
higher levels, limit = representation
16. Science to Cultivate Change
THEORY track one
Integrated pluralistic theoretical and
methodological frameworks:
(1) Resilience and Adaptation Theory
(2) Systems Thinking
(3) Strength-Based Development
Asset-based community development
Appreciative Inquiry
(4) Participatory Action Research

19. Science to Cultivate Change
In 2002, only 9 of the 94
mesh collectors were
still hanging…
No one involved the
community in planning,
and therefore missed what
the community really
wanted

20. Science to Cultivate Change
Why we need participatory
approaches
Risks of failing to understand the
context of intervention and identify
appropriate objectives:
• Interventions resulting in unexpected
adverse outcomes
• Wasting resources on unachievable
operational goals
• Inability to measure effectiveness
(Helfgott, 2011)
21. Science to Cultivate Change
Participation
• The ladder of
participation
• What level are you
comfortable with
for your project?
(Arnstein, 1969)
Participants can
advise but not
decide
Majority of decision-
making and full
managerial power
22. Science to Cultivate Change
TRACK 1
Stakeholder Analysis:
(1) Gather basic demographic information
(2) Identify key informants and ‘gate keepers’
(3) Identify different groups within community
(4) Identify marginalized groups
(5) Invite representative group to workshop
(6) Continue analysis throughout workshop -
include missed sectors in interviews

Community value mapping,
perceptions of environmental
change and coping
mechanisms
Activity: What is important to you?
(Clustering and ranking exercise)
Note: Largest group possible 15
minutes for reflecting and writing
one idea per post-it note to allow
similar ideas to be clustered.
1hr for clustering and discussing
26. Science to Cultivate Change

WORKSHOP DAY1 (continued): Past
Community value mapping, perceptions of
environmental change and coping mechanisms
Activity: What environmental challenges are you facing/have you faced in the past?
How have you coped so far?
Note: Post- it notes (challenges and possible responses). 1.5 hours for clustering and ranking
of challenges and responses . If time allows, supplement with ‘event ecology’ narratives in story
circles (1.5 hours).
30. Science to Cultivate Change
A variety of activities are used during
this phase of the workshop:
Collages of visions and aspirations (1
hour 10 people)
Maps: What will your village look like
in 20 years? What do you want your
village to look like in 10-15 years? (1.5
hour 10 people)
Reflective exercises:
When you think about the future how
far ahead do you think? Do you think
about your grandchildren’s futures?
etc. (1 hour)

WORKSHOP DAY 2: The Future
Visions and Aspirations for the
future
34. Science to Cultivate Change
Back-casting of strategies in space and time…
…and identifying barriers and costs
WORKSHOP PART 3:
Planning
Back Casting – How do we reach our
vision of the future?
Activity: List adaptation strategies and tools
which can take us from where we are now
to where we want to go
(3 groups, 20 minutes reflection ,40
minutes clustering)
ASK: Who will decide which strategies who
uses? Why?
ASK: Where will we seek knowledge?
ASK: Where should resources come from to
implement each strategy?
ASK: How do you see these interventions
being situated in space and time?
Activity: Brainstorm all of the possible positive
and negative impacts (incl. environmental) of these
strategies, assign costs, identify barriers and
opportunities ( 1hour)

TRACK 2
“SROI is an approach to understanding
and managing the social, economic
and environmental costs and benefits
of a project, organization or policy. It is
based on stakeholders and use
financial proxies to reveals the value of
outcomes that do not have direct
market values”
(Nicholls, Lawlor et al. 2009)
45. Science to Cultivate Change
TRACK 2
• SROI is NOT: A new economic
theory (CBA, Proxies, NMV)
• SROI IS: A new way of gathering
and displaying information for
decision making
46. Science to Cultivate Change
TRACK 2
• Semi-structured interviews to
collect data directly from
stakeholders
• IMPACT MAP to store data
associated with each stakeholder

PSROI ‘lite’
FAST – SIMPLE – SCALABLE
1. Keep key steps in workshop, change
components
2. Bring in menu for technical design, limit
community design
3. Cost from national level and limit local costing
to verification of outcomes / inputs / indicators
1. Cost key variables
2. Cost locally when outcomes are new
4. Only cost locally when local knowledge is base
of intervention, limited understanding of
intervention at national level.

70. Science to Cultivate Change
Conclusions
• PSROI has immediate value for
• getting at the heart of what communities desire
for their future and what is needed for them to
get there
• planning adaptation interventions to utilize
allocated funding
• evaluating impact over time of interventions
• its transferability to different regions, partners,
and governance structures
• local level assessments
• empowering communities through the process
71. Science to Cultivate Change
Conclusions
• Bottom-up vs. Top-down costing
• Include local communities as much as
possible in costing, but don’t always need to
conduct entire costing at the local level
• Research needed to finalize a protocol describing
when local information is essential for costing
• Community level planning and costing must
