Since the implementation of FAO’s five new strategic objectives, social protection has become an important area of focus for the Organization. Over the last biennium (2014-2015), FAO has explored the topic of social protection for forest-dependent communities through a global literature review and three country case studies in Burkina Faso, China and Uganda. This policy brief, developed in collaboration with the United Nations University – Maastricht Economic and Social Research Institute on Inn ovation and Technology (UNU-MERIT), is mainly based on these four studies.
