Main Assessment

Each country / political entity has an entry in the “countries” table.

A country has many “assessments”

• Each assessment has the following components:
  • For each of the 24 priority actions:
    • A general “status”;
    • “Measures creating perverse incentives”
    • “Measures that go beyond policy recommendations”
    • “View from a Civil Society perspective”

A user can add any number of statements to each of the 4 x 24 components. Each statement has

• a free-text entry,
• the ability to add one or more pieces of “evidence”.
  • Evidence = e.g.
    • file uploads
    • (text) references to policy documents. (e.g. “The Cattle Grazing Act (CAP 42)” )
    • (text) other references.
    • Probably, there should be a multi-upload for files, a free-text field, and a toggle or checkbox to state whether the evidence comes from official policy documents or other sources.
• Statements can also be linked to 1 or more AE Principles.

is drafted, then marked as “ready for review” (i.e. finalised.), and the assessment is timestamped.

• After being marked as ‘ready for review’, any changes to the assessment must be made on a copy.
