Framework for analysis and action
2023Also available in:
No results found.Approximately one-third of the world’s population depend on forests for their livelihoods. Forest-dependent people require social protection because they are often poor, geographically, politically and socially marginalized, and vulnerable to a variety of risks and shocks. Forestry and social protection programmes and policies share similar objectives of reducing vulnerability of forest-dependent people, enhancing economic inclusion and promoting sustainable development. Therefore, coherence, should be sought to ensure complementarity in objectives and coverage. FAO aims to promote linkages between social protection and agriculture, food security, nutrition, natural resource management, decent rural employment and resilience building. This document presents a guiding framework to assist mainly governments, development organizations and civil society organizations (CSOs) in attaining coherence between social protection and forest policies to improve the well-being of forest-dependent people. The framework guides the provision of knowledge and evidence on the vulnerabilities of forest-dependent people and analyses gaps in the provision of social protection to forest-dependent people; frames the rationale for promoting the coherence between forestry and social protection; and identifies the enabling environment and options to coherently design and implement forestry and social protection at the programme and operational levels. -

This policy brief, developed in collaboration with the United Nations University – Maastricht Economic and Social Research Institute on Inn ovation and Technology (UNU-MERIT), is mainly based on these four studies. -
Book (stand-alone)A diagnostic on social protection needs and opportunities for forest-dependent communities in the United Republic of Tanzania 2018
Also available in:
No results found.This study is aimed at gaining an understanding of the poverty and vulnerability situation of forest-dependent communities in the United Republic of Tanzania and generating information on the availability of social protection interventions, with a view to identifying pathways for establishing sustainable social protection for these communities. Social protection is taken to include “all initiatives, both formal and informal, that provide social assistance to extremely poor individuals and households; social services to groups who need special care or would otherwise be denied access to basic services; social insurance to protect people against the risks and consequences of livelihood shocks; and social equity to protect people against social risks such as discrimination and abuse” (Devereux and Sabates-Wheeler, 2008).
