truly complied with the necessary procedures before and during project implementation. The equivalent scores for each indicator are also noted below. The scorecard tool is further described below. PROTECT Indicator 1. The communities’ right to use the land (access, withdraw, and exploit resources) is not diminished. Limits to the use rights of communities, should there be any, should be compromises which have gone through appropriate channels of consultation and consensus-building with the community. Limits on the community’s use of and access to land may be reflected in the company’s investment policy, management plan, and from testimonies of community members. (5 points) Indicator 2. The communities’ control and decision-making rights (management and exclusion) over the land are not diminished. The affected stakeholders must be able to directly exercise management and exclusion rights over the land in the presence of investors and during any of the project operations. Should there be shared management responsibilities, these should be outlined in the company’s investment policy and management plan. More so, deviations from the community’s preformed management arrangements should be institutionalized only with permission from, and after consensus-building with affected stakeholders. (5 points) Indicator 3. There is no threat of involuntary eviction of rights holders and communities. The present and future operations of the investor must not instill in stakeholders a sense of uncertainty about their tenurial status. The basis for scoring this indicator may be official investment documents, and the community’s general perception on the investment. (5 points) Indicator 4. Proposed and actual arrangements and mechanisms such as joint ventures, management contracts, and marketing agreements, among others are fair and legal. Economic risks and benefits are shared between the investor/ company and the concerned communities. For an investor to receive the full score, contracts and other relevant documents must transparently detail the socioeconomic benefits and risks to the community. Moreover, community members must attest that they are aware of these provisions and that they are being implemented truthfully. (5 points) ANGOC and KPA 91
