THE CONDUCT OF BENCHMARKINGANDIMPACT
ASSESSMENT OF CBFM – CARP PROJECTS

DATE :

I. The Technical Bulletin

This technical bulletin provides a guide on the conduct of benchmarking and impact
assessment. The tool was developed by Ecosystems Research and Development Bureau
(ERDB) in collaboration with the Forest Management Bureau (FMB) and the Field Offices of
the DENR, initially for Community-Based Forest Management – Community Agrarian
Reform Program (CBFM – CARP) projects. It intends to help field users establish baseline
data at the start of the project as well as to determine the socio-economic impact of CBFM–
CARP Projects to its beneficiaries and the bio-physical environment of the CBFM 3-5 years
and thereafter on regular time series.

II. Users of the Benchmarking and Impact Assessment Tool

The users of the tool are personnel of the DENR, forest communities and other
stakeholders who are primarily involved in socio-economic and environmental study (SEES)
or profiling of the communities in the uplands. It is also applicable to other DENR programs
such as the National Greening Program (NGP), DENR/Japan International Cooperation
Agency (JICA) - Forestland Management Project (FMP), and other Community-Based Forest
Management initiatives.

III. Benchmarking and its Importance

Benchmarking is the process of comparing the performance of a project to some kind

of objective standard1. For CBFM – CARP, benchmarking is an important tool to have
baseline information which can be used as basis of comparison to the project’s outcomes or

1

results five (5) years after the intervention. The information gathered from benchmarking can
be used to identify gaps and setbacks in order to improve the project and achieve its
objectives2.

IV. Impact Assessment and its Importance

Impact Assessment is a tool for assessing the impacts on the social and economic
aspects of the lives of the farmers and on their environment. It helps in outlining the
advantages and disadvantages of activities undertaken and examines possible synergies and
trade-offs in the overall project implementation3. As a structured process in considering
project’s implications, impact assessment also provides opportunity to modify a particular
undertaking. Such opportunity can be applied at all levels of project implementation and in
related decision-making processes4.

V. Purpose and Objectives of the Benchmarking and Impact Assessment

The purpose and main objective of the benchmarking and impact assessment study is
to assess the changes that occur socially, economically and environmentally brought about by
CBFM – CARP projects to the lives of CBFM peoples organizations after five years of
implementation. It will determine the factors that may have influenced the impact hence, it is
crucial that baseline information on social, economic and environmental condition of the area
be gathered at the onset of the project.

VI. Guide on the Conduct of Benchmarking and Impact Assessment of CBFM-CARP

Projects5

Two (2) sets of questionnaire were prepared for the purpose consisting of Interview
Schedule for the socio-economic component (Set A) and Guide questions for environmental
or bio-physical component (Set B). Set A Interview Schedule should be administered through
personal or face-to-face interview while Set B will make use of key informant interview,
focus group discussions and secondary data gathering.

SET A – INTERVIEW SCHEDULE FOR SOCIO-ECONOMIC ASSESSMENT

This part of the field guide is divided into 3 major parts to include: (1) choosing the
respondents; (2) collecting the data; and (3) important reminders in conducting socio-
economic survey.

A. Choosing the Respondents

1. Determine the target population. Identify the target population which is a group or
set of units that will be surveyed. For the benchmarking and impact assessment study,
the target population is the set of households who are beneficiaries of the CBFM-
CARP project. To qualify as respondents, they should be legitimate residents of the
area and recipients of the CBFM-CARP project.

Adapted from “Establishing Benchmark for the National Greening Program: A Field Guide”, prepared by ERDB-NGP (2013).
2. Construct the sampling frame. A sampling frame is a set of information in the form
of lists, directories, or maps which includes the population of interest where a sample
is drawn. The sampling frame for this socio-economic survey should consist of a list
of all beneficiary-members of a randomly selected People’s Organization (PO) that
was engaged by the DENR to implement CBFM-CARP Project.

3. Choose the appropriate sampling design and sample size. Use Simple Random
Sampling (SRS) to draw representative samples from the identified list of PO
beneficiaries. In conducting SRS, apply the following general procedures.

Use any randomization

Assign an ID technique (draw lots, The generated ID
number to each random number generator, number
PO beneficiary etc.) to generate N (n corresponds to the
refers to the sampling size) PO to be sampled
ID number

4. Compute the appropriate sample size. In determining the appropriate number of

samples, use Slovin’s formula to calculate the sample size. This statistical formula is
very convenient to use especially when the distribution of data is not known. It
allows one to sample the population with a desired level of precision. The formula is
given below:

n = N Where n is the sample size, N is the population size,

1 + (e) 2 and e is the level of precision (e=0.05)

To illustrate, suppose there are 464 households (N=464) which are beneficiary
members of CBFM - CARP of a selected People’s Organization. To compute the
appropriate sample size, substitute the values (N=464, e=0.05) in the Slovin’s
Formula. [Note: The benchmarking survey will employ a household type of survey.
Most likely the lists that can be provided by the respective PO Presidents are those
lists of all members of the PO. Members of the same household should be considered
as one (1) household].

N 464
n= n =
1 + N (e) 2 1+464 (0.05)

464 464 464

n= n= n=
1 + 464 (0.0025) 1+1.16 2.16

n = 214
 If the total population of the PO beneficiaries/members are equal or less than 100, all
members beneficiaries of the People’s Organization should be considered in the
survey as respondents.

B. Collecting the Data

To get the data needed for socio-economic component, personal or face-to-face interview
shall be used using the Set A INTERVIEW SCHEDULE (Please see Annex A). This
interview schedule is composed of three (3) parts:

Part 1. Information about the Respondent

This provides information about the profile of the respondents that includes his/her name,
age, gender, highest educational attainment, civil status, religion and ethnic orientation.

Part 2.Social Impact

This part provides information on household composition, sources of income and

affiliation to organizations/associations in the community. It is subdivided into the
following sub-sections:

a. Household composition
b. Changes/Improvement in the Household/Family
c. Changes/Improvement in the Community
d. Organization/Associations in the community
e. Financial/credit sources in the community
f. Development programs implemented in the Community
g. Other social data

Part 3. Economic Impact

This section seeks information about economic condition of each household and it is
subdivided into two parts:

a. Estimated annual income

b. Farm size and percentage of farm area allocated for specific use
c. Percentage of farm produce consumed domestically and sold to the market
d. Farming systems and corresponding net income
e. Anticipated income from forest product resources
f. Annual family expenditures and savings
g. Presence of pest attack and extent of damage

C. General Instructions

Below are the general instructions in accomplishing the interview schedule:

1. The interview schedule is designed in such a way that predetermined answers for
each questions are already provided to facilitate the interview process. In cases where
 the answer to a certain question is not listed, the enumerators are advised to specify
the answer by writing it in the space provided.

2. Accomplish all the questions in the interview schedule by: a) encircling the
appropriate answer to a given question, b) filling-up the boxes with corresponding
numerical digit for questions such as monetary values, measurements of land or
houses and number of individuals of interest, and c) providing the correct numerical
code for qualitative question such as 1 for Yes and 2 for No.

3. Refer to the grey boxes at the left portion of the interview schedule when answering
questions where possible answers are already categorized.

4. When applicable, take note of the remarks for the changes that occur from base year
and five years after for each of the question. Reason(s) for change must be provided
on the remark column using the appropriate box at the left portion of the interview
schedule.

5. Write the answers legibly and avoid unnecessary markings in the interview schedule.

6. It is important to accomplish the interview schedule completely.Never leave blanks if

possible. If question is NOT APPLICABLE to the respondents, simply mark N/A in
the space provided.

NOTE: Answers for boxes on five years after will only be accomplished when undertaking the
impact assessment already. Otherwise, if establishing benchmark data only, leave this blank.

D. Important reminders in conducting socio-economic survey

When Entering the Community

A brief and straightforward introduction letter is important before an interviewer or field

enumerators conduct interviews. This will serve as a tool to show courtesy and respect to
the community and the target respondents. Aside from the introduction letter, courtesy
call with community official and authorities must also be done first. It is important to
explain to local officials the reason for the survey and steps to be undertaken to avoid
confusion or any conflict in the course of the field surveys.

Basic Qualifications of Field Enumerator

Field enumerators should be at least high school graduate and speak the language of the
community. Since priority respondents are heads of the families (age ranged from 30-50
years old), it is preferred that enumerators’ age is of the same age range. In addition, it is
advisable to have both male and female enumerators. There are respondents who are more
comfortable when interviewed by a person of the same sex and some who prefer being
interviewed by the opposite sex.

Roles and Responsibilities of Field Supervisors and Field Enumerators

 Field supervisors must be well respected and knowledgeable of their tasks and of the
purpose of benchmarking and impact assessment. To be able to effectively train and guide
enumerators, field supervisors must be able to perform the following:

1. Help the enumerators understand their responsibilities and ensure that they have
necessary knowledge and skill to carry out the benchmarking and impact assessment
study;
2. Understand the interview schedule well and other data gathering techniques that could
be used;
3. Ensure that enumerators are equipped with all the necessary supplies and materials
they need in the field survey including the introductory letter and identification card;
4. Coordinates the team’s logistical requirements;
5. Lead the team in conducting the surveys with the selected respondents and as much as
possible avoid the use of replacement respondents;
6. Facilitate the coordination and courtesy call with concerned organizations and
individuals;
7. Observe enumerators actual interviews to ensure consistency and quality throughout
the survey;
8. Train enumerators on how to deal with refusals and help those who are having
difficulties in interviewing; and
9. Review the completed surveys and meet with enumerators at the end of each day to
resolve any questions or problems.

On the other hand, the field enumerators’ should observe the following roles and
responsibilities:

1. Understand the interview schedule thoroughly. This could be achieved by conducting

levelling-off workshop wherein individual items or questions in the interview
schedule is explained by the facilitator or field supervisor;
2. Conduct the survey only among selected or identified PO-member respondents and
according to approved survey procedures;
3. Make every effort to avoid refusals;
4. Inform supervisors whenever a question to a problem arises;
5. Meet with field supervisor daily to review day’s work; and
6. Dress properly.

SET B – GUIDE QUESTIONS FOR ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT

Considering the limitations on resources (e.g. expertise, time, etc.), the method that
will be utilized to collect data for environmental component of the study would be through
the use of key Informant interview (KII) and secondary data gathering techniques. Collection
of relevant information should be done prior to field surveys. It is recommended that maps
(e.g. soil, topographical, land use, geological) of the CBFM-CARP site be secured to easily
locate and assess some of the natural resources in the area. Some of the environmental data
(e.g. climate data) may be secured from appropriate agencies like PAGASA. Others (e.g.
ecological profile) can be sourced from secondary data and literature where similar studies/
investigations were undertaken.
 Using Set B Guide question (please see Annex B), field supervisor could serve as the
enumerator that will interview the key informants. Below are the data sets that should be
gathered to have baseline data and assess the impact of the CBFM-CARP project.

Data sets for environmental component

Part I. Physical Resources

Physical resource component refers to the soil and water attributes of the landscape.
Assessment of the resource could help determine the stability, nutrient cycling and
hydrological function of the said area. This section should generate the following data and
information:

a. Climate data
Climatic data are important parameters that affect soil and water resources. Data to
be gathered include climatic type, average temperature, average annual rainfall, rainy
months and prevailing wind directions.

b. Geologic Features
This includes landforms found in the area such as volcano, springs, rock formation
(karst, limestone), caves and others.

c. Water Resources
Sources of water within the area include those coming from springs, streams, rivers,
ponds, lakes and others. This is where the community usually get the raw water for
domestic, agriculture, and other productive uses.

d. Soil Properties
Though soil properties are governed by its physical, chemical, and microbiological
characteristics, for this study only the general condition of the soil shall be looked at
to include soil type, fertility, level of susceptibility to erosion/landslide, and acidity.

Part II. Biological Resources

Through the use of a survey instrument, knowledgeable local communities may be

interviewed on the existing flora and fauna found in the area, as well as an estimate of its
population and/or abundance. The following data and information should be generated:

a. Land cover and land use

This is the percent distribution or extent of land cover/land use in the area which
includes grassland, shrubland, upland/agroforestry farms/ cultivated areas; built-up
areas, open or unvegetated land, forest (natural and plantation) and others.

b. Flora
This section will provide information on the extent of distribution of grasses, shrubs,
forest trees and fruit trees in the entire CBFM area:
 c. Fauna
This section will generate information on the extent of distribution of different faunal
species mammals, birds and fowl, amphibians and reptiles, rodents and shrews and
fishes (found in river, lakes and ponds) in the entire CBFM area:

Filling up the data forms

1. Just like the socio-economic component, instructions on how to answer the questions are
already provided to facilitate the interview process.

2. Accomplish all the questions in the interview guide. Fill-up the boxes with corresponding
numerical code assigned for a specific answer or for question requiring a Yes (1) and No
(2) answer.

3. For questions that require answer on whether there is a change (decrease or increase) that
occur between the base year and five years after, put a check for the corresponding
answer.

4. Take note of the remarks for the changes that occur from base year and five years after
for each of the question. Reason for change must be answered on the remark column
using the appropriate box at the left portion of the interview schedule.

5. Write the answers legibly and avoid unnecessary markings in theinterview schedule.

6. It is important to completely accomplish the interview schedule. Never leave blanks if

possible. If question is NOT APPLICABLE to the respondents, simply mark N/A in the
space provided.

A. Key Informant Interview (KII)

A key informant is an individual who has been selected to speak about a certain topic
because of their knowledge and credibility. With their help the interviewer will have
detailed and interpreted knowledge which other respondents may or cannot provide. The
interviewer must consult with the authorities of the community on who can be selected as
key informants. Usually, they are chosen based on their experiences and expertise.

After selecting the key informants (KIs), interviews may proceed using guide questions to
make sure that information collected from all KIs are the same. They must also identify
the information to be collected and keep track of what was said by the KI. Interviewer
may also ask the informant to recommend other informants to be interviewed.

B. Secondary data gathering

As part of the usual triangulation approach, secondary data gathering could also be done
to have initial information on the bio-physical resources of the area being studied. This is
especially true when primary data collection is impossible or too costly and time
consuming to undertake. Examples of sources of secondary data include those gathered
and presented by other researchers and/or other organizations such as government units
and private institutions.
VII. Data Analysis and Interpretation

The study shall apply the Pre – and Post – Test (PPT) method, or the before-and-after
technique in data analysis.

This method generally answers the question “What changed from the beginning of the
project to five years after?” It can measure the project outcomes, impact, and demonstrate its
success. It can act as thermostat and provide sound feedback to decide whether or not to
make changes in a particular project or decide to terminate it.

One common statistical test to be used is the t-test. It will determine if the average or
means of two project outcomes/impacts are statistically different from each other6.

VIII. Report Writing

Report writing shall be conducted after all data were gathered and analysed. This is to
provide a complete description of the methodology and results of the benchmarking and
impact assessment. For a systematic procedure, individual reports shall be collected for
compilation of the regional reports. In order to come up with a full report, a consolidated
national report shall be made from the reports submitted by the regional offices.
