1.0 Approach & Methodology 1.1 Scope & Objective

1.1.1 Objective of WBFBCP The West Bengal Forest and Biodiversity Conservation Project (WBFBCP) aims “To improve

forest ecosystem and conserve biodiversity by undertaking afforestation, regeneration and wildlife

management activities through JFM (Joint Forest Management approach, including institutional

capacity development, thereby contributing to environmental conservation and harmonized socio-

economic development in West Bengal”.

The Main components of the Project are (i) Afforestation (ii) Biodiversity conservation (iii)

Community Development (iv) Institutional Capacity Development.

Adoption of JFM approach to implement the WBFBC project is derived from existence of symbiotic

relationships of the community and Forest including biodiversity requires. Community

participation in environmental conservation and harmonized socio-economic development has

been institutionalized with the formation of local level institutions such as Forest Protection

Committees (FPC) and Eco-Development Committees (EDC). The community development as

the major component of participatory forest and biodiversity management is being implemented

in 23 Divisions.

• Afforestation of Degraded Forest Land in Recorded Forest Area

•Tree Planting Outside Forest (Social Forestry)•Soil & Moisture Conservation in Forestry Treatment Areas

•Production of Quality Planting Material

Afforestation

•Improvement of Wildlife Habitat in Protected Areas

•Mitigation of Man-Animal Conflict

•Research on Wildlife and Biodiversity

Biodiversity Conservation

•Community Mobilization

•Micro Planning

•Income Generation Activity

•Comunnity Development infrastructure

Community Development

Institutional Capcity Development



The following section briefly elaborate about people bodies involved in project activities:

The community development activities formed as per the extant resolutions/regulations issued by

GoWB shall implement the Community Development Activities. Income Generation Activities shall

be undertaken through Self-Help Groups (SHGs) within the members of FPCs/EDCs.

I. Forest Protection Committees (FPCs): People’s body formed, in order to ensure adequate

and quality community participation for forest protection and management. The beneficiaries of

FPC are economically backward people living in the vicinity of forest. There is a joint membership

(If, husband is a member, wife automatically becomes a member and vice versa) from each

household.

ii. Eco Development Committees (EDCs): Eco Development Committee (EDC) is people’s body

formed for the protection and development of wildlife protected areas (Sanctuaries and National

Parks). EDC functions to ensure adequate and quality community participation for protection and

management of Protected Area including wildlife. The members of EDC are from economically

backward people living in the vicinity of wildlife protected areas.

iii. Self-Help Groups (SHGs): SHGs are formed within a FPC/EDC to improve the livelihoods of

the people through Income Generation Activities.

iv. Beneficiary Groups (BGs) outside Forest Areas are formed under state’s social forestry

programme for the plantation of trees in the areas outside forest areas. Plantation sites are

managed by the BGs. Generally, the beneficiaries comprise economically backward people, SCs

and STs.

1.1.2 Progress of institutional development at the field level under WBFBCP

1.1.2.1 The state’s scenario As on 31st Match 2015, there were 4312 FPC consisting of 498171 Members in the state. The

social composition of FPC members constitutes 29.59 % (SC), 25.21 % (ST) and 45.20%

(Others). In the state, 107 EDC comprising 22625 Members were formed as on 31st March 2015.

3.0 Detailing the Methodology & Approach

3.1 Approach The approach and methodology for conducting baseline survey describes the broad objective of

the WBFBC project, project activities undertaken by the CBOs (FPC, EDC and SHGs) and

outcomes of formation of such people bodies.

The approach of a Socio-economic baseline study is more comprehensive than conventional

baselines, as it will focus roles of FPC and EDC in the implementation of project activities. The



baseline survey would focus on indicators implying project outputs and their impact on socio-

economic conditions of the Members of FPC & EDC.

Baseline Study Main focus Local institutions and

and using advance software.

The baseline study will attempt to compile and analyses information on two types of indicators:

(i) Benchmark indicators: Related to socio-economic conditions of Members of FPC/EDC

(ii) M & E indicators: Related to broad objectives of the Project and activities to be undertaken/

already undertaken under the project components.

3.2 Methodology:

Desk review:

Study and review the research papers, project documents, Minutes of meetings,

evaluations, and special study reports pertaining to FPC & EDC and JFM in West Bengal



Study of Resolutions/Acts/schemes and policies regarding community participation in

JFM, FPC, EDC and other linked Ministries/departments schemes/programmes

Meeting/Workshop with various stakeholders and adopt a participatory approach for

baseline benchmarks/indicators development

Structured questionnaire for baseline Survey: Apart from above key stakeholders’ interaction, the questionnaire development would involve

Client level Discussions

Conducting pilot 02 FGDs (01 each with members of FPC & EDC) to identify socio-

economic indicators/benchmarks and M & E indicators in a participatory manner

Combining of reference indicators provided in the ToR with the socio-economic indicators

revealed through stakeholders’ consultation meetings

Primary research Primary survey will be done by approaching FPC, EDC and the members of FPC & EDC and

conducting field survey through direct interview (DI) method with help of structured closed/open

ended schedules and focused group discussions (FGD) for the collection of socio-economic

indicators related information. The methodology to be followed for primary research will be as

under:

I. Direct interview (DI) using structure questionnaires: It will be conducted through structured/ semi-structured questionnaires or interview

guidelines with households of FPC/EDC, Members of FPC/EDC in the project areas

and members of control group (FPC/EDC in non-project areas)

Sample FPC and EDC interviews will be conducted to refine the structured baseline

survey questionnaire.

II. Focused Group Discussion (FGD): FGD will be conducted, involving a group of 5 to 10 FPC/EDC members and it complements the

DI method by eliminating any biased opinion in the responses of the individuals, largely to validate

the data collected at the household level. In each of the 09 sample districts, 01 FGD would be

conducted to supplement the HH level data.

III. Ranking and Scoring Techniques (RST): RST, PLA tool will be used to rank the problems and issues of FPC/EDC and Forest conservation

Bio-diversity related issues.



Wealth-ranking method will be used to rank the household level wealth status across the social

groups.

Broad Indicators identified for the collection of information at the Household

levels • General information about the household: (identification of the household, basic information

on its composition and main characteristics including family composition, proximity to roads

and markets, education, member of what kind of group or cooperative etc.), Basic amenities

at the HH level, Access to basic services

• Poverty status

• Income (per household) and consumption pattern

• Employment structure and dependence on Forest related activities/forest resources

• Structure of Income (Agriculture, Off-farm income, income from Forest Products and NTFP,

Labour income, and debt etc.)

• Household assets

• Income distribution of house hold

• Indebtedness and access to credit

• Social security & food security

• Extend of dependence on forest based resources

• Perception of the status of forest by comparing past and present

• Perception on benefits emerging as member of FPC/EDC

• Social and economic group association & Institutional relationship

• Awareness of forest institutions and forest management

• Awareness of roles and responsibilities as member of FPC/EDC

3.2.1 Information to be collected at Community (or FPC/EDC) level a. General information about the FPC/ EDC

i. Identification of the project FPC/ EDC (District, Block, Revenue Village, Habitation; Division,

Range etc.)

b. Roles and functions of FPC

b. Access to Services in FPC/ EDC

i. Proximity to roads and markets, medical facilities, electricity, panchayat office, Block office

etc.

c. Profile of FPC/ EDC



i. Infrastructure and amenities situations, migration pattern ,fuel and fodder collection

practices, existence of CBOs, SHGs (which are active and their status of activities, total

transaction of last one year, actual deposit amount etc.)

d. Forest resources, roles and responsibility of FPC/EDC

i. Roles and responsibility of FPC/EDC

ii. Access to Forest resources

iii. Impact of project activities under WBFBC project

The detailed indicators and benchmarks can be scanned from the Schedules attached at the

annexures.

Testing and finalizing the questionnaires The questionnaires developed through the desk review, stakeholders’ consultation was validated

through conducting field visits to Seuligaria FPC under Chhatna beat/range in North-Bankura

division and FPCs in Hizli under Kharagpur division of West Medinapur during 19-20 April 2016.

The FPC schedule was pre-tested in the presence of investigators and discussions were held

with Range and Beat Officers. Accordingly, the final household schedule is prepared and placed

at annexure-II. One important lesson learnt from the pre-test was that as the FPCs were formed

earlier, there had been a change in the memberships depending upon the status of earlier

members. The original members of FPC had nominated other members from their families to

continue as members for continuance of family representation in the FPC. Further, as the FPC

are formed years back, hence it would be difficult to provide information on socio-economic status

in pre-FPC formation stage by the respondents. Keeping several such factors in view the

household schedules were finalized. The FPC/EDC schedule is also modified as per discussions

with relevant stakeholders. Both the FPC member HH schedule and FPC/EDC schedule are

placed at annexure-II & I.

3.3 Sampling Plan

Selection of FPC/EDC: As per the ToR around 50% of Project area FPC/EDC to be covered under the baseline study. In

total 277 FPC /EDC are proposed to be covered under primary survey from the project areas and

in the non-project areas 28 FPC/EDC will be covered to represent the control group. The break-

up of proposed sample size for FPC and EDC is proposed as follows:

Selection of Non Project FPC/EDC

Under this study control group baseline data will be developed by covering 25 FPC and

03 EDC from non-Project areas. The selection of Non-project FPC/EDC will be done from



the adjacent area of the Project FPC. Accordingly, the FPC of the non-project area

nearest to the Project FPC will be selected for the study.

The selection of the Households FPC/EDC would follow the proportional method

as per the SC/ST composition.

Selection of Households: The household selection will be done randomly and will depend upon the availability of FPC

members in the villages during the survey period.

3.7 Analysis framework

The proposed base-line study analytically will focus on generating an extensive data base

and compiling parameters/indicators in a systematic manner. Apart from providing tables

of indicators related to socio-economic paradigms of FPC/EDC, the report will include the

analysis of current socio-economic status of Households of members of FPC/EDC.

Two stage method would be followed to build up the monitoring and evaluation indicators:

From an analytical perspective, cross-tabulation method involving two or more indicators

would be used to interlink various variables and provide analytical findings as far as

current situations are prevailing. Further, FGD reports for a defined number of FPC/EDC

would be produced.
