So let's jump into the implementation design section of our adaptation action plan. So you'll see here that it looks a little long and it will be long. As I mentioned, you're going to be filling out tables. So one of the best ways to organize this information that's both easily done and also digestible is through tables. So your document might get long, but don't fear that's normal. It's just because tables take up space. But the main components of your implementation section are going to be your stakeholder assessment, your major activities table, and the timeline and benchmarks table. So we'll go through each of these sections in detail and then provide some examples. So your stakeholder assessment. We've talked about stakeholders, you've identified them, but have you assessed them yet? So that's what this section does. So we are in the section of the plan or we're starting to talk about how things are going to get done. So you want to think about your stakeholders as a general group and not necessarily as an individual. So these are your people who are implementing and who are your recipients of the benefits of the adaptation action. So you'll go back to your readiness survey and you'll use that readiness score to start thinking about what that score told you in terms of what you need to do for your add up or for your implementation design. You might incorporate some personal knowledge from that. So I'll give an example later on. But it's important to think about those readiness scores and not just as a number or generally thinking but, what is the information that you have about that readiness tell you about you're either implementer or your community? But what does it not tell you? Because what that interpretation does is there are implications for the design. So you'll actually include some language about this, the implement, the scores and then the interpretation into your stakeholder assessment component, which will be a table that you'll use. So your table will look like this. So this is one of the better ways. So rather than having a whole bunch of text that you're going to have to read through, everything is in tables because it's a little bit easier to digest. So you have on your left your stakeholders, your implementers, and your recipients, and you'll see that they're actually sectioned off based on their readiness construct which is specific to the implementation readiness or their dimension which is specific to the community or recipient readiness. We have each of those constructs and dimensions and then you're going to provide an interpretation and the implications for that, in the implications for the design in this table. So if you remember back in week three, you did surveys for both for two different adaptation actions, one where you knew the implementers the least and the other one where you knew the community the least. So at this stage as you're going to be filling out your adaptation action plan, if you didn't do the survey for both the community and the implementers for a specific action, that's okay. Because we are assuming that you knew something about the community readiness if you did the implementers readiness assessment. But in your plan, you will want to make sure that you fill out this table in full. So you might be putting together some hypothetical information which is fine but to go through the process, you'll want to make sure that this is a full table. So that's your stakeholder assessment table. We'll move into the major activities table now. So the major activities is where a lot of the work is going to happen here. So in defining a major activity, it can be pretty broad. So what I was thinking was this a task, or it's work that is required in sequence or in concert. So it could be happening at the same time. That's required to complete the adaptation action. So the purpose of this table is to operationalize the activities early on. Because by operationalizing them early on, you'll start to see how those specific components will inform the creation of other aspects of the plan. This table also provides space to explicitly document how the readiness information is going to be incorporated into the design of the activity. The last piece of the implementation section is your timeline or milestone table. So this is an important piece because this is where you're going to keep information about what your timeline is and your goals. So you'll be thinking about the delivery of the content or the materials and in their respective locations and settings. You'll borrow that from the table that you had above, the major activities table, and you'll identify when does that activity start and when does that activity stop. Then you'll also identify when that activity is complete or if you need to up to par. So this is an important piece because, oftentimes we let things go on too far or we don't realize that we stopped an activity when we actually didn't get to where we wanted it to be. So you'll want to make sure that you fill this out thoroughly. So that was a brief overview of the implementation section of your plan. It's a lot of information and sometimes it's easy to follow this way but I want to jump into our example so that we can demonstrate what this actually would look like for our wildfire and psychological first aid training. So you'll see that next.
