description This article uses data from a large survey funded by US-AID and implemented by the Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR) on the main eight managed forest areas for wood fuel production in Burkina Faso (may-june, 2005), for analyzing the effects of this forest management policy on peasants living conditions around these forest areas. This survey has covered 355 woodcutters of 24 villages located between 35 km and 250 km from Ouagadougou the capital city of this country. A preliminary approach of woodcutters’ income structure has revealed the magnitude of wood fuel income on their other income sources, and also the great contribution of this activity on the improvement of woodcutters’ living conditions. Percentiles and poverty indexes’ methods have been used to capture poverty incidence, deepness and severity among woodcutters of these managed forest areas. It worked out that woodcutters’ poverty prevalence (incidence) in these forest areas is lower than that computed at national level in 2003. It’s the same for the poverty deepness index which also is lower than that found at the national level. Although, the average poverty severity index on these observed forest areas has been greater than that observed in 2003 at the national level even if it exists a high dispersion of this index among forest areas and villages of these forest areas.
