Project code: DFG SFB 552
Contract period: 01.01.2006 - 01.01.2009
Purpose of research: Basic research

This project analyses the role of non-agricultural incomes and household and intrahousehold dynamics on the use of forest resources by poor households at the rainforest margins. The project will use panel data and appropriate techniques to understand: the role of non-farm incomes in affecting poverty and resource use; the role of demographic and other shocks on poverty, vulnerability and resource-using coping strategies; the impact of gender dynamics on resource use; and the relationship between the analytical findings and resulting policy issues from the project area and regional and national policies and developments.
