Example: Scoring of social equity of NTFP enterprises in India
This example comes from a broader analysis of the social, environmental and economic benefits of
conservation oriented enterprises in five States of North and South India (James et al., 2005). Table
T17 shows the scores out of a hundred for carefully selected ‘social equity’ indicators of some NTFP
enterprises. While these scores were self-assessment scores, and are therefore prone to subjectivity
and bias, it can be observed how this approach could be adapted to a multiple stakeholder
assessment system.
