For whom is this tool for? This scorecard tool in its present form, is to be used by communities to evaluate private investments in land and agriculture in its initial exploratory stages or those that have just begun operations. The tool may not yet apply to all types of investments – it would have to be revised and refined for it to apply to concessions, investments that have been operating for longer periods, and State-owned companies. How to use the scorecard With thoughtful consultation and deliberation with members of the community, kindly fill-in the fields below as objectively as possible. The scoring system per indicator follows an all or nothing method – for each indicator, investments may only receive either the full score or zero. Please base the scores to be assigned for each indicator on facts and reliable evidence. The Remarks column may be used to provide supplemental information or to note the reason/s for the score provided. As much as possible, please fill-in all fields.
