UNEP-WCMC Biodiversity Series Commercialization of non-timber forest products. Participatory resource mapping in the community of San Silvestre, Bolivia. secondary aim was to provide sufficient contextual background to allow for the development of a precise and locally acceptable survey tool (see below). A common structure for the community reports was developed with NGO partners, as were detailed guidelines on how to obtain the necessary information to complete the reports ISchreckenberg et al. 20051. These included suggestions on the use of secondary data and on how to implement a range of participatory research techniques, including collecting community histories, resource mapping and diagramming information flows and product market chains. One report was written for each community by the NGO partner working in that community Interim versions of the community reports were discussed at a full project workshop in April 2002, which served to highlight missing information. Reports were further revised when information gaps were identified during the cross-community analysis Isee below), and were finalized in 2003. Market reports During 2001-2002, the NGO partners wrote a market report for each of the products on which they were working. These reports focused on describing the value chain for the products, concentrating on the elements of the chain located outside the case study communities. A common structure, including qualitative and quantitative information, was developed for the market reports IBojanic et al. 2001), and NGO partners received two days of training in key concepts and methods. Questionnaires Four questionnaires were developed, all with the same basic structure. Two were directed at community members, one targeting households involved in NTFP commercial- ization, and a second target
