GSDRC Topic Guides aim to provide a clear, concise and objective report on findings from rigorous research on critical areas of development policy. Rather than provide policy guidance or recommendations, their purpose is to inform policymakers and practitioners of the key debates and evidence on the topic of focus, to support informed decision-making. This topic guide provides pointers to some of the key literature on political economy analysis and evidence of its impact on aid effectiveness in different contexts. It includes examples of analyses at country, sector and programme level.

La Situation des forêts du monde 2014 regroupe et analyse les données existantes afin d’évaluer la part qui est celle des forêts dans les ressources mobilisées par les êtres humains pour subvenir à leurs besoins essentiels: alimentation, santé, logement, énergie. Le rapport examine les mesures déjà prises par certains pays pour promouvoir les avantages socioéconomiques tirés des forêts et, surtout, il passe en revue les domaines où l’information doit être améliorée et les politiques ajustées pour qu’il soit possible de mieux exploiter ces avantages.
