Stage 5 - Monitoring and Evaluation

Carrying out continuous monitoring and evaluation during the implementation of the program best reflects the principles of flexibility and adaptation and renewal.

Monitoring, evaluation and flexibility to changes will ensure the resilience of the ecosystem and its development over time, as well as its ability to provide a response to the changing environmental needs.

Here are some key highlights for improving the monitoring and evaluation system:

• Set key performance indicators (KPIs) to measure progress - a necessary step that, if not already done in the stage of defining the goals and objectives, now is the time to do it.
   
• Establish a system of monitoring and measurement: perform regular evaluations and audits from time to time to measure the pace and nature of progress towards meeting the program's goals and these are areas for improvement.
   
• Communicate successes and challenges: Regularly communicate the successes and challenges of environmental initiatives to all levels of the organization. Encourage feedback and continuous improvement.
   
• Comply with legal requirements and standards: Make sure you comply with relevant laws, regulations and voluntary standards. Certifications such as ISO 14001 are recommended and effective tools that demonstrate commitment to environmental management.

After going through all the steps, you can free yourself up and delve deeper into the anchors and tools we have put together for you that will help you implement the development of an ecosystem for environmental innovation in the best possible way.

At the same time as implementing the work plan, it is important to follow up in order to create a feedback system and make changes.
