The Toolkit
Below is the visual image of the Connect 3 Assessment. The top of the model, the "Community Assessment," integrates waste, water, and education into one system.
At the community level, indicators of unsustainable systems are evaluated and scored into a local assessment.
The Inter-Community Assessment involves compiling and condensing community assessments. During this phase, communities are mapped and cross-referenced to find commonalities. With a regional analysis, we analyze what factors are connected to find systemic and local causes of unsustainable systems.
