From the perspective of policymakers, ongoing learning would be required for identification of the critical factors that either facilitate (e.g. policy frameworks that encourage livelihood practices that secure ecosystem services and wellbeing of communities) or impede desired livelihood strategies (e.g. corruption, policies disregarding interests of currently disenfranchised). By breaking the cycle of low skill jobs and poor income for workers, the livelihood choices of those who develop these skills would increase. To develop these livelihood activities, there is a need to secure land rights, address market barriers and develop critical business and technical skills. Facilitation of these skills, however, has to be done with understanding that indigenous communities themselves are uniquely knowledgeable about their traditional practices (farming, handicraft, traditional health, etc).
