  1. Who Counts Matrix

  2. Who Count Matrix • Taken from The BAG (Basic Assessment Guide for Human Well-Being), one of CIFOR C&I Tools • Based on the work of Carol J. P. Colfer et. al.

  3. Purpose • To identify a small set of stakeholders closely connected to the forest who need to be involved in forest assessment and management. Several sets of information will be collected about these forest actors, for use in assessing local human well-being

  4. Method • This method involves creating a matrix. • Across the top are listed the stakeholders initially identified as important. This can be based on • prior knowledge • interviews with knowledgeable parties • existing literature.

  5. Method (Cont.) • Along the left hand side are listed seven dimensions: Proximity, preexisting claims, dependency, poverty, local knowledge, culture/forest integration and power deficit • These dimensions reflect the importance of the forest to the people.

  6. Scoring • Once the stakeholders and user groups have been listed across the top of the page, score each one on the degree to which each dimension generally applies to them: 1 = high2 = medium3 = low‘var.’ = variable

  7. Scoring (Cont.) • The scoring process involves making an estimate based on your early observations and the views of people you meet. • The mean score for each column (excluding ‘variable’scores) is computed across the bottom of each table. • The cut off point for defining who counts, in our experience, has been a score of <2. Discuss these estimates with others and revise accordingly.

  8. An example from Ivory Coast 1 = high, 2 = medium, 3 = low

  9. The cut off point • The cut off point for defining who counts, in our experience, has been a score of <2

  10. Issues • Dimensions should meet the context • Score, ordinal or interval • Score, 1-3 or 1-5 or … • Mean for interval number, otherwise Median/Mode
