Ranking Sheet
All qualitative and quantitative information gathered from the performance sheet was
rated and transformed into the ranking sheet and each criterion across the value chain
was multiplied with a weighting value.
Weighting was fixed with respect to EP focus, where 1 is minimum; 1.5 is moderate and
2 is maximum. The total score for each VC then could be calculated as being (rating
score for each VC) X (fixed Weight for each criteria).
Limitations
All value chains are not equally mature. Due to time constraints all data was not
available for all value chains. Furthermore, there is a regional variation with respect to
livelihoods context, infrastructure, nature of chain actors etc. Therefore, it is not wise to
make any concrete comparison to each other value chain. Rather, this exercise has
given a good reflection on the compliance of value chain towards inclusiveness of
extreme poor.
Conclusion
The ranking tool was not only measuring the performance of value chain, it was
recognised by all as a learning tool to have more insight about the inclusiveness of
extreme poor. Through this exercise everybody has realised where to give more focus if
we want make the value chain more responsive to poor and extreme poor
