title: Replication data for: Human health and occupational exposure to pesticides among smallholder farmers in cotton zones of Côte d'Ivoire

description: While precautionary efforts are being made to minimize human health problems associated with agricultural pesticides, the continued occurrence of occupational poisoning from these chemicals raises major concerns among stakeholders. Information gap on human health problems associated with pesticides poses major obstacles to making informed policy decisions, particularly in developing countries where most of the poisonings occurs. In this study, we identified acute human health symptoms associated with pesticide use in cotton zone of Côte d’Ivoire and, documented the response of rural households to the symptoms. The results show that cotton farmers in Cote d’Ivoire suffer from different occupational health hazards from expo-sure to agricultural pesticides. Key health symptoms reported by pesticide applicators are headache, rheum, cough, skin rash and sneezing. Pesticide applicators reported four times higher symptoms of ill health than other house- hold members who do not nor
mally handle pesticides. Although, households recognized pesticides as an important cause of ill health, some of the symptoms have been accepted as norm by individuals who apply pesticides. Official data on pesticide poisoning in the country is most likely to be seriously under-estimated as applicators visited formal health centers for medical assistance in only 2% of poisoning cases reported. There is a high likelihood that households in the study area under-estimated pesticide-related health costs in making farm production decision-making. Approaches to use economic instruments for reliable monitoring and reporting procedures to formulate appropriate policies and regulations to minimize exposure to pesticides are recommended. Health planners and policy makers should aim at reducing the risks posed by pesticide to farm households by, improving awareness of farmers; promote complementary approach (e.g. Integrated Pest Management) and, use of economic instruments and improved surveillance to bridge the gap in the documentation of pesticide poisoning cases among farmers.

title: Replication Data for: Smallholder farmers’ perceptions of climate change and the roles of trees and agroforestry in climate risk adaptation: evidence from Bohol, Philippines

description: Recent studies have highlighted the importance of trees and agroforestry in climate change adaptation and mitigation. This paper analyzes how farmers, members of their households, and community leaders in the Wahig–Inabanga watershed, Bohol province in the Philippines perceive of climate change, and define and value the roles of trees in coping with climate risks. Focus group discussions revealed that farmers and community leaders had observed changes in rainfall and temperature over the years. They also had positive perceptions of tree roles in coping with climate change, with most timber tree species valued for regulating functions, while non-timber trees were valued as sources of food and income. Statistical analysis of the household survey results was done through linear probability models for both determinants of farmers' perceived changes in climate, and perceived importance of tree roles in coping with climate risks. Perceiving of changes in rainfall was more likely among farmers who had access to electricity, had access to water for irrigation, and derived climate information from government agencies and mass media, and less likely among farmers who were members of farmers' organizations. On the other hand, perceiving of an increase in temperature was more likely among farmers who were members of women's organizations and had more off/non-farm sources of income, and less likely among those who derived climate information from government agencies. Meanwhile, marginal effects of the regression on perceived importance of trees in coping with climate change revealed positively significant relationships with the following predictor variables: access to electricity, number of off/non-farm sources of income, having trees planted by household members, observed increase in temperature and decline in yield, and sourcing climate information from government agencies. In contrast, a negatively significant relationship was observed between recognition of the importance of tree roles, and level of education, and deriving income from tree products. In promoting tree-based adaptation, we recommend improving access to necessary inputs and resources, exploring the potentials of farmer-to-farmer extension, using participatory approaches to generate farmer-led solutions based on their experiences of climate change, and initiating government-led extension to farmers backed by non-government partners.

title: Replication data for: A tale of transaction costs and forest law compliance: Trade permits for Non Timber Forests Products in Cameroon.

description: There are growing concerns about illegal activities in the forestry sector and some work is in progress to understand the causes and consequences of noncompliance to forestry laws. However, most research on illegal forest activities dealswith illegal timber harvestingwith little efforts on other activities likeNon Timber Forest Products (NTFP). In Cameroon, commercial exploitation of most NTFP is regulated by a permit system. However amajority of traders who sell these products do not have the necessary permits. The objective of this paper is to assess and use transactions costs economics (TCs) to explain why traders in Cameroon do not comply with regulations on permits. Results show that the process to obtain permits may require more than 26,000 USD and may require regular monitoring during a time span of more than 4 years. Analyses of traders' perceptions illustrate that the major sources of high TCs in the forest sector are the perceived complex administrative procedures and information asymmetry on procedures and the requirements to obtain permits. The study concludes that it is the impracticality to abide to high TCs rather than the inclination to disobey the law that pushes traders to operate without permits.

title: Replication data for: The "model farmer" extension approach revisited: Are expert farmers effective innovators and disseminators?

description: How farmers can better access knowledge and technology for improving agricultural productivity is a key challenge, particularly given the growing complexity of agriculture and the decline of publicly funded extension systems. Extension programmes often make use of farmer to farmer extension and choose âmodel farmersâ, also called âmasterâ, âleadâ or âexpertâ farmers, to host demonstrations and train their fellow farmers on improved agricultural practices and innovations. Chosen on the basis of their expertise, model farmers are also assumed to be effective innovators and disseminators, but are they? This study sought to answer this question by examining a sample of 126 adopters of fast-growing leguminous fodder shrubs for feeding dairy cows and goats in Kenya. Criteria were established to rate farmers on their expertise as farmers, disseminators and innovators. Farmers were interviewed, indices were drawn up, and farmers were rated on the three categories. Forty-eight farmers were found to be expert farmers, 46 were expert innovators and 44 were expert disseminators. Forty-eight  did not fit into any category. There were no significant differences between disseminators and non-disseminators with respect to age, gender and level of education. Nor were there differences between innovators and non-innovators. These finding are encouraging, as they suggest that there are no important barriers related to these variables preventing farmers from becoming innovators or disseminators. In contrast, expert farmers did tend to be wealthier and have larger land holdings than non-experts.  There was some overlap among the expert farmers, innovators and disseminators, with 17 farmers being designated as members of all three categories. A log-linear regression model analysis revealed that farming and dissemination expertise are positively associated, as are innovation and di
ssemination expertise. However, farming expertise and innovation expertise are not associated. Moreover, 19 (40%) of 48 expert farmers were not effective disseminators. This finding suggests that extension programmes that choose farmer trainers on the basis of their farming expertise and their dissemination skills will  promote dissemination more effectively than those that choose trainers only on the basis of their farming expertise.

title: Replication data for: Alemagi et al 2014 REDD+ readiness process in Cameroon: an analysis of multi-stakeholder perspectives

description: Cameroon has been a keen participant in Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation plus conservation, sustainable management of forests and enhancement of carbon stocks (REDD+) negotiations since 2005 and has engaged in activities to enhance the implementation of REDD+. This article reviews progress on REDD+ readiness in Cameroon based on a multiple REDD+ functions framework. Results show that some progress has been made in terms of planning and coordination, institutional development, and the development of some REDD+ projects. Absence of a legal framework, inadequate procedures for stakeholder participation, slow progress in the development of a national strategy, monitoring, reporting, and verification (MRV) challenges, and weak financing remain prominent constraints. Despite having one of the slowest REDD Readiness Preparation Pro
posal (R-PP) processes in the Congo Basin, stakeholders feel strong ownership because the R-PP was done almost entirely by Cameroonian experts. Some opportunities for improving REDD+ can be considered going forward, including the establishment of procedures for a broader participatory process, speeding up the operationalization of the National Observatory on Climate Change, making use of the ongoing forestry law reform, consideration of a carbon concessions concept, tapping from international initiatives to build on MRV, and improving benefit sharing and financing through the development of an appropriate and decentralized mechanism. Enhancing these opportunities is fundamental for successful REDD+ implementation in Cameroon.  Policy relevance This article offers a new multidimensional approach to assessing the REDD+ readiness process in Cameroon. This critical assessment, which is done using six key functions, provides an opportunity for enhanced understanding of the process by policy makers, decision makers, and professionals with a view to enabling improvements in the readiness process. Furthermore, the article proffers a series of opportunities that the government and other relevant stakeholders can capitalize on to overcome current hurdles affecting the REDD+ readiness process. It is hoped that policy makers driving the REDD+ process in Cameroon will be able to incorporate the findings of this research into their strategic policy, formulated to advance the REDD+ readiness process. More importantly, it is hoped that the multidimensional framework applied in this study could be useful for assessing REDD+ in similar contexts in the Congo Basin.

title: Fostering collective action at landscape level: Success factors of smallholder innovation platforms in the Eastern Highlands of Kenya and Uganda

description: Strong and vibrant smallholder groups provide opportunities to the community to play a role in rural development and benefit from it. However, most of those groups do not have the capacity to individually influence rural development. Bringing groups together facilitates access to combined knowledge and leverages complementary assets. This study identifies factors influencing the success of two smallholder innovation platforms in Embu and Kapchorwa. A five-level likert scale survey questionnaire was administered to 68 groups from the two platforms that had experienced significant development in their group's capacity as a result of these platforms. Principal component analysis was used to extract indicators defining dimensions used to measure the success of these platforms. Multiple regression analysis was used to fit the model of successful linkages. The results indicate that ownership, motivation and leaders commitment skills and motives play critical roles in the success and sustainability of smallholder innovation platforms

title: Replication data for: Farmers' preferences for tree functions and species in the West African Sahel

description: Parkland agroforests are mixtures of trees and shrubs that farmers select for certain functions and cultivate together with staple food crops. In the West African Sahel, parkland trees and shrubs provide essential products and services for rural communities, and thereby contribute to poverty alleviation and food security. The principal products include wood for energy, construction, furniture, household and farm implements; fruits and leaves for food; numerous traditional medicines; fibers for roofs, mats and fencing. Environmental services of parkland trees and shrubs, such as soil and water conservation, are crucial because the region is semi‐arid and the soils are generally infertile. A participatory project to improve the management and productivity of native tree and shrub species in parkland agroforests was initiated in the West African Sahel in 2006. The first major activity was to determine farmers’ preferences for tree functions and the priority species for these functions. In this paper, we present results of preference surveys conducted in Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger and Senegal.
