# Activity monitoring and reporting

Activity monitoring tracks progress in implementing the actions outlined in the collective action plan. It assesses whether planned activities are being delivered as intended, on schedule, and with the identified resources, and helps identify implementation challenges, lessons learned, and opportunities for course correction. Transparent reporting of activity monitoring results supports accountability, shared learning, and sustained stakeholder trust.

## Requirements and validation criteria

To assess whether a landscape initiative has ongoing activity monitoring with transparent reporting, LandScale requests specific information via tailored questions. Submitted materials are used to evaluate and validate the extent to which the activity monitoring and reporting sub-criterion is met. 

<table><thead><tr><th width="211">Requirements</th><th>Validation criteria</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Systems or tools used for activity monitoring.</td><td><p>A clear description of the system or tools used for activity monitoring is provided, including:</p><ul><li>The organization, consultant, or team responsible.</li><li>The frequency of activity monitoring.</li></ul></td></tr><tr><td>Most recent activity monitoring results.</td><td>Documentation of the most recent activity monitoring results is provided (e.g., progress reports or activity logs), demonstrating how implementation is tracked and providing updates on the status of actions defined in the collective action plan.</td></tr><tr><td>Transparent reporting.</td><td><p>Indication of whether the activity monitoring results have been publicly reported, including:</p><ul><li>Reporting frequency.</li><li>Types of data shared.</li><li>Platform(s) used for reporting. </li></ul></td></tr></tbody></table>

Once validation is complete, the activity monitoring and reporting sub-criterion on the wheel at the top of the initiative's profile will be filled to reflect the assigned maturity level, with validated information visible throughout the profile unless it is set to private.
