“…The search using keywords 'REDDþ, women Ã OR gender' revealed 34 published papers covering 16 countries, in 25 journals between 2011 to 2018 ( Figure 7). This later start date reflects that the first adoption of REDDþ was in Indonesia in 2007 (Nhem et al 2017). It was not until a few years later that the gender perspective in REDDþ research received attention.…”

“…written, spoken, visual and heard', through communication media including artwork, articles, photographs, speeches, advertisements, magazines, newspapers, books, video, music, films and voice recordings. Other researchers have described the content analysis method as a technique to make replicable and valid inferences from texts to their contexts (Sadath & Rahman 2016;Nhem et al 2017). Walliman (2006, p.124) specified that 'content analysis' was invented in the 1900s while Prof. Klaus Krippendorff, author of the book entitled, Content Analysis: An Introduction to Its Methodology, asserted that the content analysis method was introduced in 1980 (Krippendorff 2004;Ekayani et al 2016).…”

“…Researchers have used content analysis to study a range of fields, including sustainable forestry, economic, energy and health care (Neuman 2007;Kalof et al 2008, p.105;Nhem et al 2017;Sutterl€ uty et al 2018). More specific, empirical and forestry-related study using content analysis method includes studies of forest policy (Sadath & Krott 2012;Sadath & Rahman 2016), media discourse on forest fire (Ekayani et al 2016), global warming and climate change (Liu et al 2008;Schmidt et al 2013) and ecosystem services (Paudyal et al 2017;Yang et al 2018).…”

“…Content analysis has also been used in the study of media analysis concerning REDD þ context and forest management (Mbatu 2016;Fischer et al 2016;Nhem et al 2017;Riedl et al 2018;Sutterl€ uty et al 2018) and the assessment of women and gender in forestry (Mai et al 2011;Tyagi & Das 2017;Asher & Varley 2018). In addition, the content analysis method has also been used in energy study discourses (D'Agostino et al 2011); health care (Harris et al 2016;Farchi & Salge 2017;Webb et al 2017) and public economics (Larcinese et al 2011).…”

We analyzed local stakeholders' perceptions on women's engagement in sustainable forestry and the challenges women face. We additionally examined the publication of scientific papers on women's participation and gender perspectives in forestry research. We employed Kendall's W to examine the concordance of local peoples' assessment of the knowledge of rural women related to forestry, the major barriers preventing women participating effectively in sustainable forestry and the tasks required to engage women better. The study revealed only very weak agreement regarding the knowledge of rural women about forestry (Kendall's W ¼ 0.47, p < .000). Local people considered women knew most about sustainable forestry and use of forest for various purposes and less about the trees and forests. The study found moderate agreement (Kendall's W ¼ .118, p < .000) concerning the major barriers preventing women participating effectively in sustainable forestry, with the most significant barrier being low female participation in decision-making bodies. There was very weak agreement on the highest priority task required to engage women better in forestry management (Kendall's W ¼ .035, p < .000). Quantitative content analysis was used to analyze the scientific papers. From 1992 to September 2018, 537 scientific papers were published in 171 journals, with study sites in 83 countries, related to women and gender in 1) forest, 2) REDD þ and 3) community-based forestry. The countries most covered by the research were: Indonesia (27 articles), India (39), United States (45) and Nepal (51). There was a significant increase in the number of papers on women's participation and gender mainstreaming in 1) forest (n ¼ 482), and 2) community-based forestry (n ¼ 20) from 2007, and in 3) REDD þ discourses (n ¼ 34) from 2011. This study suggests further scientific research is needed on women's participation and gender perspective in sustainable forestry and environmental concerns if the collective action needed for sustainable forest management is to be effectively addressed.

“…The RGC is committed to sustainably protect forests through reforming the forest sector (RGC 2011;Nhem et al 2018). Linked to this, Cambodia participates internationally in addressing the impact of climate change and works to fulfill its international obligations under UNFCCC and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (UN 2015c;Nhem et al 2017). Cambodia has made good progress in reducing the poverty rate to 19.80% by 2011 (MoWA 2014, p.7) and inequality decreased from 39.6% to 35.…”

This study analyzed the distribution of forest income and other variable sources of rural household income and considered their importance for the reduction of income inequality and poverty. We employed Gini decomposition to measure the contribution of forest income and other sources of income to income equality and assess whether they were inequalityincreasing or inequality-decreasing in the 14 villages. The forest income Gini correlation with total income was very high, R k ¼ 0.6960, and the forest income share of total rural household income was 35% (S k ¼ 0.3570). If the income earned from forest activities was removed, the Gini index would increase by 10.3%. Thus, if people could not access forest resources because of vast deforestation, perhaps from the limitations of government-managed forestry, unplanned clearing of forest land for agriculture or the granting of ELCs, there would be an increase in income inequality and poverty among rural households. The findings suggest that policy makers should look beyond agriculture for rural development, as forest resources provide meaningful subsistence income and perhaps contribute to both preventing and reducing poverty and inequality in rural communities. The study found that non-farm activities were inequality-increasing sources of income. The share of non-farm income to the total rural household income was S k ¼ 0.1290 and the Gini index of non-farm income was very high, G k ¼ 0.8780, compared with forest and farm income. This disagrees with other studies which have reported that non-farm income was inequality-decreasing for the rural poor.
