It can also build community consensus on organizing to defend their tenure claims. Community maps may strengthen community negotiations regarding tenure rights deals with government agencies and private firms. This indicator should be applied as a case study to a recent community mapping project. Diagnostic question: To what extent is there meaningful community participation in mapping of community-owned lands? Elements of quality: • Communities have access to external support to assist the community mapping process • Map is generated through a broadly participatory process • Map is perceived to be legitimate by the community • Map is perceived to be legitimate by the government • Evidence that community maps have been utilized by the government for local land use planning decisions Participation Social Impact Assessment of Land-Based Carbon Projects (1.0) – Part II | 113
T9.5 Disaggregating Indicators Multi-dimensional indicators often need to be disaggregated, or broken down, in order to reveal differences between their various components. The decision on the level of disaggregation of indicators is as important as the choice of the indicator itself. Indicators can be disaggregated along various dimensions, including location, gender, income level, and social group (based on ethnicity, religion, tribe, caste). Aggregate, country-level indicators are useful, as they give an overall picture of where a country stands in comparison with others. However, these can mask significant differences across areas, gender, or social groups which will affect how well an impact can be monitored and assessed (Prennushi et al., 2002). At the project level, disaggregation is often necessary. Although smaller projects may find it harder to disaggregate by geographical areas, other possible examples include disaggregating by gender, income, consumption, asset ownership and ethnicity. It is also important to recognize that disaggregating indicators by areas, groups, etc., can have political consequences, and must be done carefully. Gender considerations are perhaps the most frequent reason for disaggregating data. It is well established that men and women use land-based resources differently, have different access to programs, and are affected differently by activities/programs/projects. Project proponents must understand these differences in order to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the project, and to ensure that women and men have equitable access to the project’s benefits, and that neither is negatively affected by the project. Table T28 demonstrates how indicator data can be disaggregated.

This resulted in subjective biases as the monitoring process was Social Impact Assessment of Land-Based Carbon Projects (1.0) – Part II | 114
