Part II: Contextual analysis
Part I introduced the multiple spatial and temporal links between people, poverty and development, places, forests and their products and provided the conceptual and methodological framework underpinning this study. Part II goes deeper into the forest: presenting the context based on existing literature. Current gaps are filled and new knowledge created on the contexts in which the NTFP value chains are embedded and operate. This enables the contexts of the areas in which the value chains originate and operate to be introduced and analysed, showing how these shape governance arrangements and their outcomes, currently and from a historical perspective. Chapter 4 covers the environmental context – the forest resource base and Chapter 5 the livelihood aspects in terms of socioeconomic and entrepreneurial context. Part II thus responds to the first research question concerning the contexts in which governance arrangements of NTFP value chains are embedded and observable trends, and the second question concerning the nature of products, uses, sources and values. Chapter 2 stressed that a historical perspective and broad context is essential to understand value chains, with detail and breadth needed to appreciate the impact governance arrangements have on livelihoods and their sustainability. This multi-dimensional analysis of the context in which the values chains operate also follows the bricolage line of inquiry adopted for this study.
