Mālama Implementation Tool
The AWWC together with the
ʻĀina Aloha Economic Futures (AAEF) initiative and global engineering and consulting firm
Stantec, collaborated to develop a comprehensive project assessment tool to support partners in project development efforts.
About the Tool
This instrument prioritizes locally relevant measures of success, practical implementation considerations, and design economics. Distinct from other project assessment rubrics, this tool seeks to broaden the user’s understanding of our responsibility to steward the environment and each other by developing mainstream planning perspectives through local and indigenous knowledge systems. The Mālama Implementation Tool is currently being utilized in a feasibility study of eight AWWC partner-led projects throughout the watershed.
The tool additionally reflects the six goals of the Aloha+ Challenge through its 28 measures of success. Each measure has been cross-walked against the Aloha+ Challenge targets, and once a user completes their project assessment, the tool creates a visual report of which Aloha+ goals their plans make progress on. Scoring well with this tool should indicate project features such as high levels of community engagement, support for green job opportunities and the transition to a circular economy, and an emphasis on the application of Hawaiian cultural values and knowledge, all of which work towards Hawaiʻi’s statewide sustainability commitments.
This is a place-based project assessment tool. Please feel free to download the tool and use it to gauge feasibility of your own projects, and utilize the tool on multiple iterations of your project plans, as we all strive to implement work that best moves us further towards a sustainable and resilient future.
