A sourcebook and survey modules are being developed by five bodies (FAO, CIFOR, IFRI, the World Bank's LSMS and PROFOR) to collect data on the socioeconomic contributions of forests to household welfare and livelihoods at aggregate scales. The modules have been field-tested in three countries. This flyer is intended to disseminate information on the launch of the sourcebook and survey modules in October 2016 to the partcipants of the IUCN World Conservation Congress in September 2016.

In many countries around the world, people living in rural areas have lower incomes and are generally less prosperous than their urban counterparts. Because of this, governments often attempt to promote rural development through the development of natural resources such as forests. This paper will attempt to describe some of the challenges of using forest resources for rural development in developing countries.

The purpose of the sourcebook is to further elaborate the concept of CSA and demonstrate its potential, as well as limitations. It aims to help decision makers at a number of levels (including political administrators and natural resource managers) to understand the different options that are available for planning, policies and investments and the practices that are suitable for making different agricultural sectors, landscapes and food systems more climate-smart.
