In this chapter we present a cross-case analysis, using an adaptation of the multi-stakeholder
framework for intervening in RTB seed systems (Sperling et al. 2013) (see this book’s introduction and
RTB 2016). We use the case studies presented in this book to identify ideas for successful RTB seed
systems, summarized at the end of each section. We start by describing the types of interventions, then
analyze them using the three main functions of a seed system (seed availability, seed access, and seed
quality), focusing on the seed users. We then take a closer look at seed producers, policies, and
multiplication techniques before concluding with recommendations (see Section 3 below). Throughout
this chapter we refer to the case studies using the short names mentioned in Table 1 of the
introduction
