  1. Management Effectiveness Tracking Tool

  2. A major data source • 902 METT assessments included in the global study

  3. Management Effectiveness Tacking Tool Developed to assess WWF/WB Alliance target of improving management in 75 million ha of forest PAs Assesses to all elements of the WCPA Framework METT

  4. METT Objectives • Track improvements in management • Harmonise reporting for multiple sites • Provides useful information for site managers • Quick and easy to complete • Site-based expert knowledge • Easily understood by non-specialists

  5. METT Development • Developed over two year period including independent review and field testing • Two applications by WWF before revision in 2007: • Clearer guidance • Standardised threat list • Questions revised to cover all terrestrial biomes Developed over two years Drafts field tested Independent review and field test in Asia Two ‘rounds’ of use before revision

  6. What is the METT? • Datasheets: contextual information including objectives and threats • Questionnaire: 4 alternative text answers to 30 question plus score to summarise progress • Text fields: recording justification for assessment, sources used and steps to be taken to improve the management issue

  7. METT Database – Namibia style

  8. Using the METT • Self-assessment system • Ideally completed by protected area managers with a team of staff and other stakeholders • Short and quick to complete • Repeat assessments provide trends in effectiveness and aid adaptive management

  9. METT Strengths • Multiple choice allows for some complexity of response • Enables more consistent analysis of answers over time • Next steps section helps guide adaptive management • Questions are specifically linked to achievement of objectives • Standardised language easy to translate

  10. METT Limitations • Not an independent assessment • Questions are not weighted • Limited evaluation of outputs and outcomes • Generic (general not specific) multiple choice questions not always easily applicable in diverse situations

  11. How has it been used? • From measuring one project’s targets to many uses • Major global data set of PA effectiveness information • Used in WWF’s PA portfolio; World Bank’s PA portfolio; GEF PA funded projects • Used in all PAs in China, Namibia, Central Africa etc • Adapted for MPAs
