Functions & Values Mapping
Early on in your adaptation planning project, learn about what your stakeholder working group members care about and find to be critical for the economy, public health and safety, community and environment in the project area. Within the ART Program, these are called functions and values.
The process of identifying these functions and values as a group can help to clarify the purpose and focus of the project for all participants. The functions and values themselves serve as the basis for the project's resilience goals, which provide a way to obtain agreement on the main objectives of the project,and will help shape later project decisions about adaptation responses.
This exercise is helpful for scoping and organizing your project.
