Abstract
In the most recent update of the tool in 2004, the FSCCI was revised to better take into account the special capacities needed to cope with cyclical risks and shocks, specifically HIV/AIDS. This guidance has been prepared to provide staff of Africare and other Cooperating Sponsors (and the communities they serve) with a brief background on the evolution of this tool, a clear set of steps to use in measuring the FSCCI within beneficiary communities, and the different ways this tool can be used. Annex C., Part 2: "Tool for Entering Rankings and Calculating Scores for the FSCCI" is the MS Excel spreadsheet with the necessary mathematical formulas embedded that will automatically update the score as data are entered.
