القسم1- نطاق أفضل الممارسات: شروط الإطار (البيئة الطبيعية والبشرية)

وصف موجز لأفضل الممارسات

The best practice was introduced by the project Sustainable Grassland Management project. The project has 4 immediate objectives to reach the desired achievements and outputs in managing the grasslands sustainable:
1. To strengthen existing customary forms of co-operation among herders within and between local communities of land users.
2. To facilitate the articulation of the new herder communities to other communities and to wider governance structures, mainly the Bagh and the soum.
3. To build the capacity of herder community associations to negotiate with third party providers for inputs and services.
4. To strengthen the ability of central government to create and manage an appropriate legal and economic environment for sustainable herder and grassland development.
The expected outcomes were identified as follows:
1. Herders apply tested models of cooperative resource management specifically developed for their ecological zone, based on customary forms of cooperation.
2. The rights of herders and their investments in improving resources are secured through formalized grazing rights.
3. Herder community associations have the capacity to identify economic opportunities for the members and to negotiate service contract with outside providers
4. Local best practices are disseminated on a significant scale through herder-to-herder and community to-community learning and emulation
5. Effective co-management leading to better land use planning and coordination achieved through co-management structures involving Baghh and Soum governments and herders
6. Improved capacity of central decision-making bodies (MoFA, MNE and Parliament Standing Committees) to commission, carry out and use policy research to draft new policies and legislation in the livestock and grassland management sector.|

الموقع

In 12 Soums of Selenge, Bayankhongor and Ovorkhangai aimags(provinces of Mongolia).|

وصف مختصر للبيئة الطبيعية في الموقع المحدد.

Soil in Mongolia has been divided into the following:
1. Black soil is found in Khangai, Khentii, Khovsgol provinces, Mongol Altai and Ih Hyangan Mountain
ranges, and the in the Orhon, Selenge, Onon and Ulz river valleys which are in the forest steppe region.
2. Brown soil is in the forest steppe and steppe region 1,000-1,200 meters above sea level. The content of
humus is 35% in dark brown, 23% brown, 1.62% in light brown soil.|
The topography of Mongolia consists mainly of a plateau with the elevation ranging from 914 and 1524 m
(about 3000 and 5000 ft) broken by mountain ranges in the north and west. The Altai Mountains in the
southwest rise to heights above 4267 m (14,000 ft). The Gobi covers a wide arid tract in the central and
southeastern areas. The most important rivers are the Selenge Mörön and its tributary, the Orhon Gol, in
the north. Large lakes include the Har Us, Hyargas, Uvs, and Hövsgöl.|
These 3 provinces represent the major ecological zones of Mongolia as steppe, forest steppe, desert
steppe and high mountains. The Climate refers to the climate zones of steppe, forest steppe, desert steppe
and high mountains.|

الظروف الاجتماعية والاقتصادية السائدة للسكان الذين يقطنون الموقع و/أو قريبًا منه

Livestock breeding and crop production
The minimum income per person in these 3 aimags is around $200-250/month.
Mongolian Land Law adopted in 2002 and Constitution (1992) recognizes the state ownership of pastures, forests, and subsoil and water resources, thus making private ownership of these resources impossible.The Law on Land provides rights for ownership, possession, use and limited use. Possession rights may be held
by citizens, economic entities and organizations for up to 60 years, with the right to extension for additional periods of 40 years.|

على أساس أي من المعايير و/أو المؤشر (المؤشرات) (التي لا تتعلق بالاستراتيجية) تم اعتبار الممارسات والتقنيات المناسبة على أنها "أفضل"؟

The most influencing factor for the desertification in Mongolia is the harmful use of pasture. The improvement of the pasture land management plays very significant role for combating desertification. The long-term goal of the project is to increase the welfare of herding families through the sustainable management of Mongolian grasslands.
So based on this the practice was considered as "best".

القسم 2- المشكلات التي تمت معالجتها (الأسباب المباشرة وغير المباشرة) وأهداف أفضل الممارسات

المشكلات الرئيسية التي تمت معالجتها من خلال أفضل الممارسات

The understanding of herders about the positive results of the pasture land management. It takes long time to convince the herders that they believe or see the good results.

حدد المشكلات الخاصة بتدهور التربة والتي تمت معالجتها من خلال أفضل الممارسات

Without understanding about the importance of introducing or using the pasture land management by the herders or herders' groups will be very difficult. So preparatory activities have to done longer time. Some kind of financial assistance was important tool to convince the herders. Specially for the starting period it is important.

حدد أهداف أفضل الممارسات

The immediate objectives of the best practice:
1. To strengthen existing customary forms of co-operation among herders within and between local communities
2. To facilitate the articulation of new herder communities to other communities and to wider governance structures
3. To build the capacity of herder community associations to negotiate with third party providers for inputs and services
4.To strengthen the ability of central government to create and manage an appropriate environment

القسم 3- الأنشطة

وصف مختصر للأنشطة الرئيسية، من خلال الأهداف

Capacity building and strengthening of communities was done through awareness raising, information sharing, demonstrations, herder-to-herder training, and conducting on-site training on improving pasture and water management, and developing herder’s technical and business skills|
One of the goals of the practice is to link herding communities to soum and bagh government through establishing co-management structures over the management of grassland resources. With the support of the project, co-management committees were created in 12 soums of target aimags|
There are 72 herder communities formed a group on their own initiative in target 12 soums of three target aimags exercising full decision making and full responsibility for the actions which will lead to their increased strength and empowerment
In order to improve co-management of pasture utilization there were established Co-management Committees at soum level and ensured sustainable operation of pasture improvement funds, and organized regular meetings and conferences “Pasture management and community participation".|

وصف موجز للتقنية ومواصفاتها الفنية

Establishment of new herder groups and provide trainings for them. This project relied on national institutions to conduct research activities, studies, and trainings
whenever the expertise existed “in-house”, instead on relying systematically on external specialists.|
