BCSDN internal Monitoring Matrix sustainability workshop took place on the 5-6 September in Brussels. BCSDN members, those directly involved in the monitoring and the advocacy on the EE, were reflecting on why the Monitoring Matrix was initially created, what was the initial goal and has it achieved its goals. The participants of the workshop also analyzed the environment and what has changed since 2012 – both internally within the network and externally in terms of funding, priorities, operating environment and why is the MM – or something like it – needed now and in the future? BCSDN participants have identified several statements of purpose for the period of 2016-2020 and have worked on proposals of improved and more efficient tools for the future monitoring and advocacy which will remain one of the principal activities in the future.
