Absolute scoring using the QPA<br />
Description <strong>of</strong> method<br />
For absolute scoring, which is normally preferable, respondents are asked to rate a variable or<br />
indicator on a scale from 1 to 100 at any point in time. Again it is essential to note the reasons <strong>for</strong><br />
deciding on a particular score. The scores should also be validated in community meetings and in a<br />
meeting with peer group <strong>assessment</strong> teams (if these exist).<br />
Example: Scoring <strong>of</strong> effectiveness <strong>of</strong> soil erosion measures<br />
This example shows the use <strong>of</strong> QPA to derive scores measuring the effectiveness <strong>of</strong> a project’s soil<br />
erosion control measures. Villagers were asked to mark the areas <strong>of</strong> soil erosion on a village<br />
resource map be<strong>for</strong>e the project, and to identify areas where the project worked to reduce erosion.<br />
They were then asked to score the erosion control sites (up to five in each village) on a scale from 0<br />
(equals ‘erosion continued unabated’) to 100 (‘erosion stopped completely’). The results are shown<br />
in Table T16.<br />
