ideas
+In this Section you will learn about….
The importance of alternatives
Process for prioritising options or alternatives
+The Importance of Alternatives
There are usually several different ways of resolving transboundary environmental problems and achieving global benefits
In formulating the SAP, all choices available to politicians must be documented
A particular solution should not be pre-selected but there will need to be some form
of prioritisation
+
….is key to brainstormingand an integral part ofany strategic planning
process
Often limited available resources
Helps to identify which innovative ideas or
opportunities should be considered further
Prioritisation….
+
+
Option 1: Construction of tertiary treatment plants as part of a more comprehensive sewage treatment
and disposal strategy
Choice of strategies for reducing the input of
nutrients from sewage to aquatic systems
Option 2: Enhancement of the natural capacity of the system to
remove nutrients through the restoration or creation of wetlands
+How to choose?
The choice depends on the balance between costs and benefits.
The balance depends on factors that vary from place to place (local economics, investment costs and the costs of operation and maintenance).
It is also highly influenced by culture and worldviews: highly technological solutions are favoured in some societies whereas others prefer ‘green’ approaches.
Both options must be explained to the policymakers. No particular ‘lobby’ can be allowed to insist on its own approach.
+Process for prioritising options or alternatives
Step 1: Identification of innovative ideas and opportunities that target the leverage points and meet the identified vision and goals
Step 2: Identifying Options or Alternatives: Selection of ideas, opportunities or solutions that best meet the needs and realities of the region
+Step 2: Identifying Options or Alternatives
The purpose of this step is to identify the ideas, opportunities or solutions that best meet the needs and realities of the region
The outcome will be an table of prioritised alternative ideas, opportunities or solutions that will provide the basis for more detailed in-country consultations and discussions on options or alternatives
+Criteria
Reference to the cause identified in the causal chain
Reference to specific leverage points
Stakeholders involved
Legal, institutional or policy reforms required
Approximate cost
Anticipated outputs
Time required for implementation
Indicators of success
Relative priority, high, medium, or low
Uncertainties
+Group Exercise
In groups of 5:
Review the ideas, opportunities or solutions and determine:
Approximate cost Benefit Time required for implementation
Assign a priority (high, medium, low) for each idea, opportunity or solution
Timing: 40 minutes
