Lessons learned from field projects on voluntary standards: Synthesis of results
2013
This paper synthesizes FAO’s field experiences on voluntary standards (VS) through
collective work across departments. Colleagues volunteered to provide information about
their most recent field projects in order to draw out key lessons regarding the design,
implementation and evaluation of projects that dealt with VS. Through this collective
process, thematic good practices were identified related to the nature of support provided
to small-scale producers, processors and decision-makers.
The first section provides a general overview of the selected case studies and the projects on
which they report. In the following sections, lessons are collated following the project cycle,
namely the design, implementation and evaluation phases. Finally, the paper concludes by
discussing some of the trade-offs that VS require and proposes suggestions on the way forward
