The work we can take on.
Establish a program. Prepare a response. Coordinate implementation. We agree the assignment around what your organization needs to accomplish and the capacity already in place.
Each engagement defines the responsibilities and outputs included. The examples below illustrate possible assignments; they are not completed client projects.
01 / Monitoring programs
Establish a program your Nation can use.
A project needs monitoring. Having people available is only part of the job. Someone must organize the assignments, preparation, review and reporting.
The work we take on
- Design the program around your Nation’s priorities and capacity, including requests across projects and the decisions that return to the Nation.
- Put responsibilities for accepting and assigning work, participant preparation and reporting into practice.
- Run an agreed trial, address what it reveals and provide ongoing coordination where agreed.
What this gives your team
Your Nation has an operating plan, prepared participants and clear arrangements for assigning work and receiving findings.
For example
A Nation wants to monitor road construction near streams. We help establish who coordinates assignments, how participants prepare, which questions need qualified review and how findings reach the Nation. A trial checks the arrangements before launch.
Field access, safety, technical methods and specialist appointments require the appropriate people and project arrangements.
See a program-establishment example02 / Implementation
Carry agreements into assigned work.
A signed agreement creates work across different people and organizations. Without active follow-up, a commitment can stay in the minutes while the project moves on.
The work we take on
- Turn the agreed commitments into assignments, deadlines and matters requiring a decision.
- Coordinate the agreed follow-up with staff, advisers and other authorized participants.
- Keep the work record current and bring unresolved matters back to the people responsible.
What this gives your team
Your team can see who has the next action, what progress is supported and which commitments remain open.
For example
An agreement calls for regular environmental updates. We coordinate the agreed requests and review points, track what arrives and bring missing information or overdue decisions to the responsible people.
A record of an open item is not, by itself, a finding of non-compliance.
Discuss this work03 / Decision briefs
Prepare your response with the relevant history in view.
A meeting with government or a proponent is approaching. The latest report may not address an earlier request or commitment. Staff need to know before preparing their response.
The work we take on
- Bring the relevant decisions, correspondence, commitments and current findings together.
- Check what the reviewed material answers, what has changed and what remains unresolved.
- Prepare the brief and questions staff, leadership or advisers need for the next discussion.
What this gives your team
Your team receives a concise brief with the supporting sources, open questions and decisions requiring attention. Staff can brief others and prepare a response without starting the review again.
For example
A Nation asked for two road routes to be compared. A later report assesses one route and is used to request the Nation’s support. We connect the request, report and pending decision so leadership can address the missing comparison.
04 / Funding proposals
Prepare a proposal that explains the work and its cost.
Your team knows what it wants to accomplish. The application needs eligible activities, costs, responsibilities and results that fit together—and someone to prepare them.
The work we take on
- Review the proposed work against the actual funding opportunity.
- Develop the proposal, workplan and budget explanation with your team.
- Coordinate agreed deliverable tracking and reporting after an award.
What this gives your team
You have a proposal that explains the work and its costs, with a delivery plan your team can use.
For example
A Nation wants to train monitors. We develop the proposed sessions, schedule, costs and expected results into an application, then support the agreed reporting if funding is awarded.
Eligibility and award decisions remain with the funder.
Discuss this work05 / Training and handover
Help people practise the work they will do.
A new program or staff transition can leave people with instructions but little practice. They need to understand their tasks, know where questions go and be ready to continue the work.
The work we take on
- Develop and facilitate a focused forum, workshop or practical session.
- Work through realistic tasks with participants and prepare usable guides and exercises.
- Organize the handover of responsibilities, upcoming work and unresolved questions.
What this gives your team
Participants practise the tasks they are expected to perform and leave with materials they can use. A handover gives the next person a clear starting point and the work still to carry forward.
For example
A new coordinator inherits an active project. We lead a working session using the authorized records to practise preparing for the next meeting and following up the open commitments.
Specialist or credentialed instruction requires an appropriate provider and agreed arrangements.
Discuss this work06 / Environmental evidence
Bring environmental findings back to the concern.
Field observations, technical reports and specialist responses may arrive separately. Your team needs to understand whether the concern has been addressed and what follow-up is still needed.
The work we take on
- Connect the observations and reports to the original concern and relevant commitments.
- Identify gaps or conflicting information and prepare focused questions for appropriate specialists.
- Coordinate the agreed responses and carry the findings into reporting, program changes or the next decision.
What this gives your team
Staff and advisers have a connected review: what the information addresses, where specialist judgment is needed and what action remains.
For example
A water report covers a different period from the concern raised in the field. We clarify that difference, brief the appropriate specialist and carry the response back into the team’s decision record.
Qualified specialists remain responsible for technical interpretations, field methods and assessments.
See an environmental follow-up exampleOne assignment or continuing support.
You may need a focused brief, help establishing a program or someone to coordinate work over an agreed period. We define our responsibility and the delivery you can assess before work begins.
Qualified technical work, field delivery and specialist instruction depend on the people, authority and arrangements required for the actual assignment.
