In an “ideal scenario,” early design focuses on the local system, its vision, sustainability scenario and situation initial sustainability assessment. Project contribution (work planning) follows.
Identify the key strategies partners will employ within the Sustainability Scenario.

Measure the value of the indicators by applying tools to measure each of the six SF components.
Review results and propose programmatic intervention (including specific project objectives) or policies for improving the status of each of the components.
