The purpose of this survey was to conduct a socio-economic impact assessment of the Forest and Climate Protection Project in Panay Phase II (ForClim II) in three local government units (LGUs) in the provinces of Aklan and Antique where ForClim II is being implemented. The survey evaluated the impact of the project with respect to the outcomes of livelihood improvement and sustainable management of natural resources. Household level and group interviews were conducted to gather information on selected indicators for income, livelihood and land use relevant to the project.
