Guidelines for the Development of Upscaling Plans

Identifying the primary actor/s in a large restoration initiative is central for transferring the knowledge gained from your pilot project (see Agüero et al. 2023 for stakeholder engagement in SUPERB). Who some of these stakeholders are may be evident already at the onset of your pilot, but the primary stakeholders in a demo or pilot are likely to be different to those in a larger scale restoration project. The PESTEL analysis recommended in subtopic 4 will help to identify more of these stakeholders. Hence, the development of an upscaling route-map should be seen as an iterative process where a better understanding of key actors is gained so that your final upscaling route-map is fine tuned to a target audience
that can lead larger restoration projects and action.
