Scoping study: Evaluating the Structure and Opportunities of VDVKs in Strengthening the NTFP Value Chain
VDVKs function as community-managed centres facilitating the collection, processing, and marketing of NTFPs. Despite their potential, they face several challenges, including inadequate infrastructure, limited technology adoption, financial constraints, and weak market linkages. This study aims to evaluate the structure and functioning of VDVKs and identify ways SELCO Foundation’s climate smart solutions can integrate with these centres to enhance their operational capacity and impact on PVTGs and other tribal/ forest dwelling communities.
