Some of the books presented hereunder are using the same special participative approach to involve stakeholders. When feasible, each section under our editing is authored by 3 to 5 contributors coming from different organizations, different sectors of the value chain, different countries or even different continents. A first basic text was sometimes provided to contributors who strongly improved it. Many contributors wrote all the text by themselves. In any case, they always all endorsed the final version before publication.
