Change in number of natural resources under improved management

Natural resources management is a basic action to protect and strengthen productive natural resources (natural capital).

The improvement of natural resources management aims to reduce the impact on the target population´ livelihoods of the current and future emergencies (floods, droughts, landslides) as well as to improve primary production productivity.

• It includes land use and land conservation techniques
• It includes improvement of green cover (including forest, farm and pasture land)
• It includes water collection and use improvement
• It includes natural resources protection infrastructures (e.g. embankments, flood diversion channels)
• Reduction of natural resources degradation (e.g. wood for charcoal)
• Disaster risk reduction activities focused on natural resources protection

• Geography/Livelihood zone;
• Period to achieve the objective;

• Increase (number)

Both secondary and primary data collection can be used according to context.

• Baseline/Endline (related to the specific natural resource target). If multiyear programme consider also a mid-term evaluation.
• Secondary data. Reliable/relevant sources from other actors, clusters or government (e.g. assessment information, reference to a normal situation).

Unit of Measurement: Depending on the natural resource (e.g. forest ha, coastline metre-kilometre, number of water sources)

Data Collection methods:

• Secondary data analysis;
• Natural resource measure;
• Household surveys and focus group discussions;
• Key informant interviews.

• Livelihoods and Natural Resources Protection
