The manuals aim at establishing a reliable monitoring and analysis system to alert policy makers about vulnerabilities that could hurt countries under changing global economic conditions. IMAS tries to address three challenges: To bring existing information together into an effective monitoring framework that allows for real-time assessments of the economic and social impacts of changing conditions in the world economy; To analyze risks related to different types of shocks, their transmissions, and likely effects on developing countries and various population groups To inform policy makers so that they can design adequate responses and monitor the effectiveness of the policy actions taken.

This 36-page manual was developed out of 3 regional capacity-building workshops on designing project proposals for sustainable forest management. It can be used on its own but works best as supporting material for training workshops on the same topic. The manual uses a participatory approach to understanding the main tools in preparing project proposals, including different stakeholder engagement methods, logical frameworks and monitoring and evaluation.

National Transfer Accounts (NTA) provide a coherent accounting framework of economic flows from one age group or generation to another, typically for a national population in a given calendar year. This manual presents the concepts, methods and estimation procedures to measure these flows over the life-cycle. The NTA estimates are useful to understand and analyse the implications of changing age structures for the fiscal sustainability of social programs, the accumulation of physical and human capital, economic growth, and familial support for children, youth and older persons.

The present manual is targeted primarily at statisticians working in national statistical systems and can be used as resource material for training in gender statistics. The manual should help statisticians (a) to improve the coverage of gender issues in statistics, as well as the quality of statistics, on a wide range of topics; (b) to incorporate a gender perspective into the design of surveys and censuses, by taking into account gender issues and gender bias in measurement; and (c) to improve data analysis and data presentation and to deliver gender statistics in a format that is easy to use by policymakers and planners. The manual may also be useful for data users who wish to be able to interpret statistics correctly and to understand the problems involved in the production of gender statistics and therefore have a more efficient dialogue with data producers.
