FOREWORD A review of the bamboo and rattan research needs commissioned by various international donors in 1991 ---- which also recommended the formation of INBAR as a formal international network ---- had recommended inclusion of socio-economic research aspects in all INBAR programs. Following the submission of the review report to the donors, the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), one of the donors that commissioned the review, decided to extend funding support to INBAR. This support helped INBAR strengthen and amplify its socio-economics research into a new program area. The Socio-economics and Policy Program of INBAR was guided by a Working Group made up of senior social and natural scientists from government agencies and universities in Asia. The Group worked in coordination with Mr. Brian Belcher, then principal economist of INBAR, to set the research priorities and plans for the program. For the initial phase, the program focus was on a set of socio-economic database studies and case studies, which were carried out during 1994-96. These five database studies and 11 production-to-consumption systems case studies on bamboo and rattan sectors yielded much important socio-economic data for INBAR. These studies also brought to light serious information gaps that exist in this area, an aspect that has since then helped INBAR program its activities much more effectively. This Working Paper provides an overview and synthesis of the database and case studies, summarizing the overall approach these initiatives adopted and compiling their major findings. I.V. Ramanuja Rao Cherla B. Sastry Senior Manager (Programs) Director General
