ethiopia | Forestry Household forest values under varying management regimes in rural Ethiopia The broad objective of this project is to examine the role of forests/trees in the livelihoods of households at varying forest management regimes.

ethiopia | Agriculture Forestry Public Safety Nets and Crowding Out Effects: Tree Growing and Livestock in Highland Ethiopia Food insecurity is a common problem in Ethiopia because of natural (e.g. drought, flood) and idiosyncratic risks (e.g. illness). To reduce the welfare impact of risks, households use different risk coping strategies such as diversification of crops, different crop management practices, and informal risk sharing mechanisms.

tanzania | Forestry Protecting Peri-Urban forests and livelihoods: Spatial Enforcement Issues and Incentives for Community-Based Initiatives This project stems from discussions with forest managers whose existing policies have not created the hoped-for incentives for locals to engage in enforcement of access restrictions by outsiders. This is particularly important for Kibaha’s forests because of their proximity to Dar es Salaam, a large city with high demand for charcoal and timber. Forest managers do not have mechanisms for influencing where local villagers harvest NTFPs; they also have little information on which to base their allocation of scarce patrol efforts.

ethiopia | Agriculture Forestry Common property forest management and private tree growing in the Ethiopian highlands This project aims to achieve two objectives: to identify the determinants of common property forest management (CPFM) and estimate the effects of CPFM on the planting of trees on-farm in the Ethiopian Highlands.
