2.1 Breve descripción del Enfoque

Indigenous knowledge transfer, is a common phenomena in farming societies whereby elders taught younger generations the practical aspects in production and emphasizes the norms and proms in folk story tales.

2.2 Descripción detallada del Enfoque MST

Descripción detallada del Enfoque MST:

Aims / objectives: The main aim of this approach is to improve agricultural production through collaboration of households and the entire community. The approach ensures food security and income with land conservation. The approach is achieved by voluntary learning from the experienced elder farmers. This is achieved by creation of friendly environmental to implement the learning process. The approach is also characterized by traditional prons and norms of the young generation to inherit the elders property.

Methods: The elders spent evening hours to tell farming stories to the younger generation. These stories refer to the success of soil fertility improvement, water resources accessibility and utilization, land use type and farming practices in the community.
Also, practical aspect is attained by involving the younger generation in porting and allocating the land according to land use type.

Stages of implementation: 1. Experienced farmers telling farming stories to the younger while younger listen and ask questions.
2. The elders ask old sayings and elaborate their meaning.
3. Elders demonstrating to the younger, how farming activity are done.
4. The younger implement farming activity and plan for their future.
5.The land is allocated to the younger according to land use type.
6. The younger farmers now are in the position to train their successors.

Role of stakeholders: The major stakeholders are Clan leaders, Head of households, mother, children and hired labour. The roles of Clan leaders are to organize the farming story sessions to the elders and reinforce traditional land norms and proms. The roles of Head of household are to conduct evening farming stories at homestead, encouraging the younger to practice farming by giving incentive according to performance. The roles of the children and hired labour is to work in the head of household farms and ensure proms and proms abides.

Other important information: Nowdays, the approach succeeded to expand cropland beyond grasslands and forestland.

2.7 Tipo de Enfoque

• tradicional/ local

2.8 Propósitos/ objetivos principales del Enfoque

The Approach focused mainly on SLM with other activities (Products diversification, livelihood improvements and land resouces inheretence.)

The main aim of the approach is to improve productivity and ensure younger generations productive land ownership and user rights.

The SLM Approach addressed the following problems: Lack of knowledge and skills of farm technologies, collaboration between households and community, eroded/weakened traditional norms, land ownership inequalities.

3.4 La toma de decisiones en la selección de Tecnología(s) MST

Especifique quién decidió la selección de las Tecnología/ Tecnologías a implementarse:

• principalmente usuarios de tierras con el apoyo de especialistas MST

Explique:

Indigenous trainings are formalized by extension staffs. Coffee and Vanilla buyers tends to supervise farms for products assurance.

Decisions on the method of implementing the SLM Technology were made by mainly by land users supported by SLM specialists. Extension staffs monitor, evaluate and advise the proper methods up scaling.

4.1 Construcción de capacidades / capacitación

¿Se proporcionó la capacitación a usuarios de tierras/ otras partes interesadas?

Sí

4.2 Servicio de asesoría

¿Los usuarios de tierras tienen acceso a un servicio de asesoría?

Sí

Especifique si servicio proporcionado se realizó:

• en los campos de los usuarios de tierras

Describa/ comentarios:

Name of method used for advisory service: Train and Visit (T&V); Key elements: Subject Matter Specialist trin field staff on fortnight bases. Field staff visit Progressive farmers and train them, Field Staffs visit Farmers to assess the performance and give feed back to Subject Matter Specialist; The method is very effective under a strong economical situation.

Advisory service is inadequate to ensure the continuation of land conservation activities; Farmer field schools can't reach farming communities with extension staffs based on Ward level.

Sí

Comentarios:

bio-physical aspects were regular monitored by land users through observations; indicators: activities according to the season.

bio-physical aspects were ad hoc monitored by land users through measurements; indicators: Customary land law, land inheretance protocals.

socio-cultural aspects were regular monitored by land users through observations; indicators: Harvesting season

socio-cultural aspects were ad hoc monitored by other through measurements

economic / production aspects were regular monitored by land users through observations

management of Approach aspects were regular monitored by None through observations

management of Approach aspects were ad hoc monitored by None through measurements

There were few changes in the Approach as a result of monitoring and evaluation: Monitoring and Evaluation component took very minimal attention.

There were no changes in the Technology as a result of monitoring and evaluation
