The Plan

THE SWEAP STRATEGIC FRAMEWORK

The strategic framework is the backbone of SWEAP. With a shared vision, guiding principles, and a core set of shared outcomes, individual actions will achieve the greatest possible impact – both locally and statewide. The design of the SWEAP framework is a simple logic model: actions carry out strategies to achieve outcomes toward impact. Metrics measure progress toward outcomes.
​
The vision (for water education), guiding principles, and Critical Water Concepts define the Plan’s overall context.
