phase1_synthesis

=Proposed end of Phase 1 joint product=


 * Main product - Synthesis document**


 * Background**
 * Concept and inspiration from the CSISA end of phase 2 report - @http://bit.ly/1OTJ1Zt
 * Proposed content outline to follow the SI indicators already agreed on by PCT. This will be broadly:
 * Productivity,
 * Economic sustainability,
 * Human wellbeing,
 * Environmental sustainability and,
 * Social sustainability

> ... anything else
 * 3 stories per SI indicator
 * Lots of illustrations and graphics, embedded multimedia
 * Additional stories (pages): profiles of each region/project (infographics mainly); cross-cuttiing on things like typologies, MEL, comms,
 * Joint product, with inputs across all projects
 * Co-financed as needed.

In principle: each story is 1 page of text (300-500 words max) ; plus a facing page of pictures/illustrations etc


 * Milestones**
 * Agree concept with PCT (Feb)
 * Simret & Jonathan to review stories published on the website to scout for possible success already reported for inclusion into the draft publication
 * dropbox outline version ready on 6th
 * Have final list of agreed stories - afternoon 10 June
 * story standard structure - PB, by 24 june
 * Have first drafts of the stories – by 1 July, 2016
 * Infographic concepts - by 8 july
 * first overall draft - mid July (week of 18) with a tiny small group meeting? (in Kenya)
 * Design, infographics, editing.reviews etc - Aug:
 * Publication of final digital output - end September 2016
 * Print output in October???


 * PHASE 2: Complementary product: Video**
 * Inspired by @https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lUdNMsVDIZ0 or @https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nsDE-nVIMJs (though much shorter
 * Focus: Explaining SI, or explaining AR, or illustrating some of elements of the the project complexities (easier perhaps though such a story)
 * If time allows and the SI indicators is together enough


 * PROGRESS:**

__Selected stories per SI domain__
