Tool Description
The SDP helps to assess the current situation and plan concrete actions to ensure sustainability in the different dimensions of SSE initiatives/organisations.
The assessment and planning takes place on 6 main dimensions, that are considered important for the sustainability of each SSE initiative:
- Democracy
- Cooperation
- Quality of work
- Environment
- Relations and emotions
- Coherence
Each dimension is broken down into topics. Reflection on each topic is guided by specific questions.
For each dimension and topic the team can focus on TODAY (what we do for it, what is missing, how we self-evaluate) and on TOMORROW (what we plan to achieve, when, tools and techniques).
Aims
It aims at both assessing the social sustainability of your SSE organization and at improving it through a careful planning.
Recommended for
SSE initiatives already active and willing to assess their overall functioning and offering, in view of achieving better sustainability and stronger impact.
