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. -

2023Also available in:
No results found.Sustainable, inclusive, and resilient food systems are critical to achieving food security and nutrition, promoting adequate livelihoods for farmers, food producers, and their communities, and ensuring environmental sustainability. The imperative to address these intertwined objectives is underscored by the rising attention they have received, as evident in the deliberations of the UN Food Systems Summit. This study reflects on the role of social protection and economic inclusion programmes in food systems transformation. It discusses the country's food systems state and challenges, including poverty, food security, agricultural productivity, and natural resource management. The paper also provides key recommendations on how to accelerate food systems transformation: 1-Developing coherent policies and programmes to maximise synergies between interventions that involve different sectors. 2-Designing and implementing social protection and economic inclusion programmes tailored to rural populations 3- Incorporating a food systems perspective into social protection strategies is vital to proactively address potential trade-offs or unforeseen impacts across social, economic, and environmental dimensions. -
