Déscription
CIFOR is an international research and global knowledge institution committed to conserving forests and improving the livelihoods of people in the tropics. CIFOR’s three research programmes address the needs of the rural poor as well as environmental concerns. In particular, the goal of CIFOR’s Forests and Livelihoods Programme is to enhance livelihoods by contributing to improved policies and practices related to the management and use of forests and forested landscapes. The Forests and Livelihoods Programme focuses largely on two themes, “Improving Human Well-being through Forests” and “Managing Landscape Mosaic for Sustainable Livelihoods” (which includes a sub theme on Conservation and Development).

Projets
1. The Poverty and Environment Network (PEN) is investigating the circumstances and relative contributions of forests and forest products to subsistence livelihoods and the local economies of people dependent on forests, as well as how these functions can be enhanced and protected.

2. Work on poverty alleviation in the upland communities of the Mekong Region (Vietnam, Cambodia, Lao PDR) is concentrating on improved community forestry.

3. Research and monitoring tools are being developed for understanding the contribution of forest resources to poverty alleviation in forest fringe areas in India.
