  • Instructions

    Identify current local government plans, policies or other strategic documents that address the themes of the UNI.

    Relevant public documents generally include a goal or objective statement, and are linked to verifiable measures of success, such as particular outputs (an event, a project, a governance structure) or one or more timebound targets.

    Documents passing through an approvals process anticipated to be completed within an assessment period as well as those under which measures are in implementation or which have already been implemented and are currently being monitored and revised for the next assessment period are eligible. Current documents are those that have been adopted by government and that have not expired or been superseded/replaced.

    Text for each theme should be clearly indicated, with the active dates of the document (year adopted, and time frame of document, if applicable). Describe how each of these goals are currently on track according to local targets or outputs

    Score the basic or advanced indicator as follows:

    Basic: Assess whether current qualifying documents address at least 4 of the 6 UNI themes.

    Advanced: Assess whether current qualifying documents address all of the 6 UNI themes.
