Causal diagrams linking rural well-being with forest ecosystem services in Mozambique (2014 and 2015)

Data comprise causal diagrams which show links between aspects that influence the well-being of rural inhabitants (e.g. good quality of food, good family relationships, education, etc) with ecosystem services (e.g. food from trees, wood sticks for construction, firewood, wood for charcoal production, etc.) and their causes (e.g. change in land use) in rural Mozambique. Information was gathered at 20 workshops held in Maputo, Xai Xai, Lichinga, Quelimane, and at village level in the districts of Mabalane, Marrupa and Gurue in 2014 and 2015. The objective of the workshops was to examine aspects that influence well-being and their causes in the miombo woodland area of rural Mozambique. One of the objectives of the project was to construct Bayesian belief networks (BBNs) to model future land use change scenarios in rural Mozambique using a participatory approach, to evaluate the consequences of deforestation in the well-being of the rural population. The data were collected as part of the Abrupt Changes in Ecosystem Services and Wellbeing in Mozambican Woodlands (ACES) project and were funded by the Ecosystem Services for Poverty Alleviation (ESPA) programme, funded by NERC, the Economic & Social Research Council (ESRC) and the Department for International Development (DfID), the three are government organizations from UK. The project was led by the University of Edinburgh, with the collaboration of the Universidad Mondlane, the IIED, and other organizations.

Statement
The data were collected during the development of 20 workshops. Four of them were in cities, and the rest in rural villages. The first type of workshops were divided in two parts, one devoted to Bayesian belief networks (BBN) and the second to scenario construction. The data was collected in different ways and formats: 1) one to three persons took notes during the workshops; 2) we recorded most of the discussions after obtaining the acceptance from the participants for doing so; 3) we took pictures of the materials generated, with the necessary quality to read and interpret the content. Two persons were in charge of writing down the results from the workshops in the presented documents: one of them wrote a first version, which was then reviewed by a second person. Both persons had been present during the workshops. Both of them did a final review of the documents, and then were approved as official results from the project.
