A variety of methods are used in this project, which are made available in edited form. The manuals (handouts) for each method offer compact instructions for independent application of the methods used and provide an in-depth background. The two models – iSDG and IPAM – are also described in detail. The project-related context, the process during the workshop and a summary are explained in the workshop results. In-depth and further analyses and details are presented for workshop 1 and 4. The workshop results along the research question and the methods are also available as working papers for scientific publications (submission is still ongoing).

The workshop results
A cross-SDG systems picture
Synergis & Trade-Offs
The final result of the first workshop “What is the problem?”: the five individual CLDs merged into a single, comprehensive system picture. The essential links are presented and discussed in this document.
Workshop 2 – Where do we want to go?
Workshop results
The visions and goals found in a participatory manner are described in this document.
Workshop 3 – How do we get there?
Workshop results
In this results paper you will find a detailed description of the process – the arc spans from inverted problems to positive potentials to path creation.
Workshop 4 – What do we recomend?
Workshop results
This publication provides an overview of the results of the fourth workshop and also sets out the basis for decision-making. The categorisation of measures along the sustainability dimensions is illustrated in the photos of the matrices created in the workshop.
Workshop 4 – What do we recomend?
Workshop results
Selected measures are described in detail with regard to their implementation and the associated challenges.
The manuals
Systemic Causal Loop Diagrams – CLDs
A Manual
This manual describes the individual steps you can use to create impact diagrams yourself.
Speculative Thinking and spekulative Settings
(Thing of the Future and Future Panel)
A Manual
This manual describes speculative thinking, the detailed presentation of the two formats “Thing of the Future” and “Futures Panel”, as well as the collage technique.
The models
The basis for the model is the Millenium Institute‘s Integrated Sustainable Development Goals (iSDG). Briefly described, it is a simulation tool to understand the complex relationships between the SDGs.
As part of this project, the variables developed in a participatory manner (based on the various workshops) are compared with the existing model and incorporated into the model. The effects of this re-modeling will be discussed in Workshop 4 – What do we recommend? with the question of “What do the models say?” formulated in the form of transformative suggestions from the participatory research process.
The existing structure of the iSDG is based on the 17 goals and their sub-goals. A detailed explanation including instructions for using the Stella simulation software can be found here.
The handout explains in detail the Integrated Poverty Assessment Model for qualitative research.
