Supporting the sustainability of communities and livelihoods linked to practice, place and identity is key to enabling an equitable and just transition within Wholescape, ensuring equal weighting regarding societal needs within Triple Challenge interrogation and exploration. Within Principle 4, the Wholescape Assessment of Social Capital will enable the following to be assessed: Criterion 4.1: Wholescape Programmes support an increase in local social capital, which in turn increases a more equitable flow of benefits through Nature's Contribution to People (NCP). The key objectives for WASC are: • To document the main characteristics of local social capital where the Wholescape programme is implemented. • To explore how local social capital interacts with local policy and initiatives for nature, people, and climate. • To identify how this interaction may influence policy and initiative outcomes, including those of WWF's Wholescape programme. • To monitor and evaluate both the intended and unintended impact generated by the implementation of the Wholescape programme in relation to local social capital. In applying a social capital assessment tool and monitoring/evaluation framework, WWF-UK hopes to: • Pilot a more holistic and replicable assessment tool and evaluation framework to monitor the social impacts of programmes more consistently. • Better understand which elements of social capital are most relevant to each specific programme, to inform programme design and more effectively target resource. • Evidence the need for direct funding of workstreams targeted at increasing programme-specific elements of social capital. • Align social and natural capital approaches in Wholescape regions where natural capital assessments and monitoring is underway. Requirements: WWF is seeking research partner(s) to oversee the delivery of WASC in Norfolk, one of three Wholescape pilot locations across the UK.
