This research study reviewed existing policies and legislation and the current status of the NTFP sector, conducted a series of community consultation meetings on resource use and management, user surveys and economic valuation, resource surveys and economic valuation, and made policy recommendations for the development of a concept and strategy for the sustainable management of NTFPs.
