Part IV: Conclusions
This section presents the conclusions, comparison and synthesis. It summarises the key findings on how governance arrangements have shaped the eight value chains based on the research and development experiences. The dramatic differences in governance arrangements and livelihood impacts between the eight chains were not apparent at the time of selection of research design and cases and strongly justify the number of value chain cases as providing a balanced view. The chapter summarises responses to each research question: the contexts in which the NTFP value chains are embedded and observable trends, how the value chains are configured in terms of products (uses and sources), actors, activities and values; the arrangements used to govern the NTFP chains; livelihood sustainability and product sustainability. The chapter ends with reflections and recommendations for policy and regulatory changes.
