Dear Colleagues,

We are entering the third week of discussion on the role of social protection in promoting and protecting the livelihood of forest-dependent people.

Please find below the facilitator's comments and a link to the summary of the discussion so far.

We remind you that this exchange will help the preparation of a report for the event on “Social protection for building resilience of forest dependent people” that will take place at the XIV World Forestry Congress (WFC) in Durban, South Africa in September.

For more information, please read the introduction and questions on the FSN Forum website available in English, French and Spanish.

We look forward to your comments!

The FSN Forum Team

Dear participants,

This week we will continue our discussion on the role of social protection instruments in forestry. We will also start considering the potential synergies that can be created between social protection instruments and forestry policies.

Anna Antwi

You may wish to consider discussing the third and fourth questions:

3. Which countries have social protection instruments and programmes that:
- target forest-dependent people?
- are implemented with the aim of promoting sustainable forestry among the poor?
- are integrated with sustainable forest management programmes?

4. What key factors influence the creation of synergies or conflicts between social protection and sustainable forestry? What complementarities can be utilized to optimize the effects of social protection on forestry management?

If you could you provide examples any social protection instruments around the world that are being used to promote sustainable forestry or are aimed at alleviating poverty amongst forest dependent people.

Tips: Give information on social protection program objectives, design, target group and effectiveness regarding resilience. Also provide information on how or where social protection instruments are being combined with forestry policies.
