DRYAD Open Access database of the outcomes of the Co-creation Stage

This is the open version of the "Database of the Outcomes of the Co-Creation Stage," a repository designed to document, trace, and evaluate co-creation processes that help identify, select, and implement Nature-based Solutions (NbS) within the DRYAD project. Building on the shared WP6 framework, which includes stakeholder mapping and the engagement roadmap, the database translates various regional co-design pathways into a set of indicators. These indicators provide information on the context, process design, participation, and implementation pathways associated with the co-creation process. The database addresses a common challenge in participatory and complex interventions: outcomes cannot be adequately interpreted without reliable documentation of the decision-making processes that shape them. By combining standardized fields with concise descriptive entries, the tool strikes a balance between comparability and sensitivity to local differences. This approach enables both cross-regional analysis and context-sensitive understanding. Entries have been compiled by regional leaders using a shared template. These entries were further refined through exchanges, internal checks against WP6 documentation, and internal consultations. The database is intended to be a dynamic tool that can be updated throughout the project. It promotes coordination among partners, ensures clear communication with external audiences, and establishes a baseline for mixed-methods process evaluation, as well as for future qualitative and quantitative research as the project progresses.
