| Rationale |
Monitoring the total number of outreach and awareness activities is essential for assessing the effectiveness of environmental education and public engagement efforts. Outreach activities are key to informing the public about environmental issues, promoting sustainable practices, and building support for environmental policies and initiatives. |
| Method of Computation |
To compute the “Total Annual Outreach and Awareness Activities Undertaken by or in Partnership with the Department of Environmental Protection & Conservation (DEPC),” first identify and list all outreach and awareness activities conducted by the DEPC or in collaboration with other organizations within the specified year. Then, verify that each activity was aimed at raising environmental awareness or promoting conservation. Finally, count the total number of verified activities conducted during the year. Formula: Total Number of Outreach and Awareness Activities = Sum of All Verified DEPC-Supported Activities |
