Socioeconomic Impact and Policy Assessments of the Red Palm Weevil in UAE, Egypt, and Morocco Informed Consent Information Sheet: Focus Groups Discussion (FGD’s) Instrument.
The document is an informed-consent information sheet and focus-group discussion (FGD) instrument for assessing the socioeconomic and policy impacts of the Red Palm Weevil (RPW) in the UAE, Egypt, and Morocco. The target participants are farmers’ organizations and cooperatives. The tool captures both direct economic losses (foregone revenues from dates, offshoots, and by-products) and additional expenditures (removal, burial new plantings, and pesticides). Designed under C4RPWC Work Package 1 (Socioeconomics and Policy), it aims to inform targeted policy interventions to protect date palm livelihoods in the three countries.
