Why this matters for shea

Fire Alerts (NASA FIRMS): Savanna fires in Northern Ghana are a major seasonal threat to shea trees — especially Nov–Mar dry season. NASA's Suomi NPP satellite detects active fires daily via thermal imaging. Fires within 50 km of a collection centre may disrupt nut collection and damage regenerating trees.

Tree Cover Loss (GFW Hansen): Red/orange pixels mark where tree cover was removed between 2001 and 2023 — brighter orange = more recent loss (last 5 years), darker red = older clearing. In Northern Ghana this captures bush burning, charcoal cutting, and agricultural expansion that threaten shea tree regeneration. Dense clusters near collection centres indicate high deforestation pressure on shea habitat.

Proximity Analysis: Each fire alert is matched to the nearest SFC shea collection centre using GPS coordinates. Alerts ≤25 km = Close, ≤50 km = Near, >50 km = Distant. SFC field teams use this to prioritise early-season monitoring visits.

Data refresh: Fire data is updated daily from NASA FIRMS (Near Real-Time). Tree cover data reflects the Hansen GFW v1.10 dataset (2000–2023). Toggle both layers via the map controls at bottom-left.

Methodology Note

All impact projections generated by this tool are quantitative estimations derived from the Nitidae SGG/SFC Ghana Project baseline-vs-endline comparative analysis. Conversion rates and improvement coefficients represent population-level averages calculated across assessed cooperative cohorts operating under SFC's collective mechanised processing model.

Observed Ranges — Centres in SHEE Transition

Firewood intensity (nuts)−43% to −66%

GHG emissions (nuts)−43% to −66%

Revenue premium (nuts)+59% (GHS 4.71 → 7.50/kg)

Firewood intensity (butter)~−35%

Water consumption (butter)~−20%

Ranges reflect observed best-case and worst-case variance across cooperative centres currently transitioning to the SHEE Scorecard framework. The SHEE Scorecard (Scorecard tab) constitutes the primary annual performance assessment instrument for individual centre evaluation. Projections should be interpreted as indicative estimates and reviewed against site-specific field data where available.

SHEE Cooperative Calculator & Scorecard

This tool calculates SHEE performance scores for shea cooperatives. It is an internal assessment tool only — not a certification system. Scores are used for internal monitoring, buyer-facing summaries, and season-on-season improvement tracking.

Three Scorecard Types

A. Nut — Individual Processing · B. Nut — Collective Processing · C. Butter — Collective Processing
Select your type on the Co-op Info tab. Functional unit: Nuts = per 1 kg dried kernels · Butter = per 1 kg raw butter.

Four Pillars

Social (S) · Health (H) · Economic (E) · Environmental (En)
Default weights: Social 20% · Health 20% · Economic 25% · Environmental 35%.

Aggregation — Geometric Mean

Pillar scores are combined using a weighted geometric mean — not a simple sum. This means a very low score on one pillar cannot be compensated by high scores elsewhere.

Overall = 100 × (S/100)^wS × (H/100)^wH × (E/100)^wE × (En/100)^wEn

Governance Gate

Four governance criteria (G1–G4) must be assessed. Pass = full premium benefits. Conditional = reduced benefits pending resolution. Fail = cooperative may lose premium benefits or SFC may suspend purchasing.

Grade Bands

A (85–100) Leading · B (70–84) Strong · C (55–69) Moderate · D (40–54) Weak · E (<40) Critical
If any pillar scores below 40, grade is capped at C. Below 25 caps at D.
