This paper analyzes the impact of the Participatory Environmental Management (PEMA) program on poverty, livelihoods and the knowledge-attitudes-practices syndrome in the Kasyoha-Kitomi forest landscape in Uganda and the South Nguru forest landscape in Tanzania. The authors detail how the principal purpose of the program is to analyze poverty in each of the different regions in terms of its level and composition and the factors causing poverty within different groups of the population. The paper also examines the effects of forest management on the livelihood of the poor, and to analyze the involvement of poor and marginalized populations in initiatives relating to landscape planning and environmental management.
