Q: Where can I download the template from?

A: The template can be found on the CIFOR PEN website, under Research Tools.

Q: My questionnaire does not look like the template, I have added some more questions to the core questionnaire, what should I do?

A: Please get in touch with the PEN project coordinator (arild.angelsen@umb.no) who will advise you on how best to harmonize your work with the PEN core questionnaire.
