A7 En - INTEGRAAL framework

The Integraal framework for Sustainability Assessment.

The following six-step scheme, conceptualised by C3ED / REEDS around 2007, is referred to as the INTEGRAAL procedure. 

Although presented here as a sequence of steps, Integraal is not to be conceived as a rigidly linear process.  The principle is to constitute a “deliberation forum” that offers opportunities to participants to explore progressively, or in parallel, different aspects of the agreed problem.  In the view of the C3ED team, deliberation exercises can be iterative, allowing participants to go deeper and to gain or exploit more detailed information (e.g., in the choice and mobilisation of different indicators).  It can be expected, as collective learning continues, that new policies for addressing the issue or sub-issues will be identified, new issues, stakeholders and values may be declared, and new information or analysis requirements may be highlighted.
