LandScale is introducing an updated maturity framework and evaluation tool to help landscape initiatives better understand their development and identify areas for improvement. While many approaches focus on measuring environmental and social outcomes, this framework focuses on the initiative itself – its governance, management systems, and capacity. Built on the Core Criteria for Mature Landscape Initiatives, it translates global consensus into a clear and practical approach.
What it enables
The framework helps initiatives to:
- Reflect on their progress
- Identify priorities for strengthening
- Track development over time
- Build a clearer picture of their maturity
Why this matters
Demonstrating impact is important—but so is understanding how initiatives are structured and evolving. This framework supports initiatives to better understand their own progress, while providing useful signals to donors, investors, and partners.
A tool for learning and improvement
Acting as a diagnostic tool, the framework supports:
- Continuous improvement
- Stronger communication of progress
- Clearer identification of support needs
Launch Offer: Free Validation
To support early adoption, LandScale is offering free validation of maturity evaluations for a limited time.
This is an opportunity to:
- Build a clearer picture of your initiative’s maturity
- Showcase progress
- Increase visibility with potential partners
Join the Pilot
Partners are invited to participate in a pilot of a beta maturity rubric, designed to support deeper reflection and continuous improvement.
Participants will:
- Test and shape the next iteration
- Gain deeper insights into strengths and gaps
- Contribute to the development of the approach
