Process class framework for CGIAR IDOs

[pbuttigieg]

Overall issues:

• "enhance" usage needs contextualisation and clarification in all instance

development of capacity to...

IDO 1

• ...increase resilience
  • ...increase resilience of poor communities
  • ...increase resilience of vulnerable communities

The "climate change" and "other shocks" can be composed on the instance level, something like "has participant some ('P/V community' and 'has disposition' some (resilience and 'realised in' some 'climate change process' ) or something

Need definition of "shock", my guess this is the system state after a process during which min 1 entity has realised hazard or disaster dispositions.

IDO A1

• ...mitigate effects of a process
  • ... mitigate effects of climate change
• adapt to the effects of a process
  • adapt to the effects of climate change
• socio-ecological mitigation process
• socio-ecological adaptation process

(here, the IDO may be referencing the actual mitgation / adaptation processes rather than the associated capacity dev processes, needs clarification)

IDO B1

• ...promote equity between human groups
• ...promote inclusivity in human groups

Need:

• equity disposition
• inclusivity disposition

IDO D1

• ...enable nations to participate in development processes (?)
• ...enable nations to act as beneficiaries of development processes (?)

Need:

• development process
• nation state
• beneficiary

IDO 2

• ...increase market access
• ...increase access to agricultural markets
  • ...increase smallholder access to agricultural markets

Need:

• economic market
• access to economic markets
• smallholder

IDO 5

• ... improve diet
  • ... of poor populations (min 1 population of poor humans)
  • ... of vulnerable populations (...)

IDO 3

• ... increase incomes
• ... employment levels

Need:

• economic sector
• agricultural sector

IDO 4

• ... increase productivity
• ... increase productivity of agro-ecosystems (can be post-composed

Need:

• productivity (disposition)
  • economic productivity
• capacity (?)

Note: some relevant sub-IDOs here reference capacity and resilience, both which would need base classes

IDO 5

• ... improve enabling environment (need def of en.env)

IDO 6

• ...improve food security (done)

IDO 7

• ... improve agricultural practices
• ... improve health
  • ... animal health
  • ... human health

Need:

• health

IDO 8

• ...protect natural capital

• ...potect natural capital from the effects of climate change

• ...enhance natural capital (?)

IDO 9

• ...increase benefits derived from natural resources
  --> (?) the IDO phrasing references goods and services from ecosystems, but not necessarily natural ones - is natural intended?
  --> all resources have some benefit dispositions

  If so, use:

• ...increase benefits derived from ecosystems

  Need:

  • disposition to benefit

IDO 10

• ...sustainably manage agro-ecosystems

Need:

• sustainability
• management process
  • sustainable management process
• agro-ecosystem

Many of these will fit in the SDG process framework, which I'll cook up soon

I am not sure whether many of these processes fully capture the processes that one carries out to reach the IDOs. For example, part of IDO 3 is: increase incomes. The corresponding process is: planned process to increase income. What we suggest above is rather a process to develop the capacity to increase income. It is different: to develop the capacity to do A is not the same as doing A (and can happen without A happening or resulting).

[Mttbnchtt]

Maybe these processes may be still listed under a general capacity development class. One may do so by interpreting, e.g., increasing income as the capacity. In this case, the sub-classes should not be exactly as specified in @pbuttigieg's piece of text above. For example, the process for IDO 3 should be something like process to increase incomes and not development of capacity to increase income.

This seems to get clearer if we think about the definition for the processes of IDO 3. The definition should state that an agent's income increases. It should not state that an agent's capacity to increase income is developed or that some circumstances in which the agent's income may increase are the case.
