  • Description: An analysis of different possible strategies for an optimal harmonisation of protocols for transnational monitoring, mainly focusing on biodiversity monitoring information workflows and governance.Fourteen monitoring programmes were taken as case studies. We showed that each programme has adopted a particular strategy, noticeably regarding the type of protocol and how the data is managed in the information chain. Various combinations of strategies are possible to deliver general trends and indices at the trans-national level, with three main ones that seem to prevail among the studied cases: (1) applying one common strict protocol in all countries involved and aggregating raw data for joint analysis; (2) different protocols are applied across the different countries, each protocol gathering data which are treated locally to produce defined EBVs or indicators, which are then aggregated at the global (or trans national) level; (3) applying a protocol allowing some flexibility for an adapted implementation to each country, and treating data both locally and at a trans national level. We also highlighted that these combinations depend on the possible international cooperation and on the countries' means, in terms of budget as well as the existence of expert and volunteer networks.
