2.1 Courte description de l'Approche

A household and the family members work on SLM measures to manage their land without external support.

2.2 Description détaillée de l'Approche

Description détaillée de l'Approche:

Aims / objectives: Self-help approach explains the responsibility taken by a land user household to undertake SLM activities on the land he is holding using his and the family labor, without incentives provided from external sources. It aims at enhancing household land users’ responsibilities for managing their land so that they will be able to increase land productivity and improve the livelihoods. This approach is as old as communities and farming. Land users cultivating on steep slopes practiced SLM activities using this approach for many years. The approach area is defined by administrative and watershed units.

2.5 Pays/ région/ lieux où l'Approche a été appliquée

2.6 Dates de début et de fin de l'Approche

2.7 Type d'Approche

• fondé sur un projet/ programme

2.8 Principaux objectifs de l'Approche

The Approach focused mainly on SLM with other activities (water harvesting, grazing land management, forest development)

To enhance household responsibilities in the management of land, improve land productivity and efficiency of labor

The SLM Approach addressed the following problems: shortage of trained manpower to provide adequate technical advice, support the households at the time of planning and implementation. Causes of the problem are: 1) Indirect: lack of knowledge, lack of enforcement of legislation, land subdivision and 2) Direct: over-exploitation of vegetation, agricultural causes and overgrazing

2.9 Conditions favorisant ou entravant la mise en œuvre de la(des) Technologie(s) appliquée(s) sous l'Approche

3.1 Parties prenantes impliquées dans l'Approche et rôles

3.2 Participation des exploitants locaux des terres/ communautés locales aux différentes phases de l'Approche

	Participation des exploitants locaux des terres/ communautés locales	Spécifiez qui était impliqué et décrivez les activités
initiation/ motivation	interactive	Public meetings: land users undertake SLM activities on their own plots
planification	interactive	Training: At any time in the year but most commonly in the dry seasons before the onset of rains
mise en œuvre	auto-mobilisation	family labor: engaged any time their involvement is needed
suivi/ évaluation	interactive	Field visits: development agents and group leaders make field visits to evaluate the activities
Research	aucun

3.4 Prises de décision pour la sélection de la Technologie/ des Technologies

Indiquez qui a décidé de la sélection de la Technologie/ des Technologies à mettre en œuvre:

• principalement les exploitants des terres soutenus par des spécialistes de la GDT

Expliquez:

This approach is prepared by land users because at the time of last approach/ mass mobilization where all are working in one watershed the other area was damaged. So some farmers decided to work on ther lands with their families.

Decisions on the method of implementing the SLM Technology were made by mainly by land users supported by SLM specialists. the one assigned as an expert is responsible in facilitating implementation schedual.

4.1 Renforcement des capacités/ formation

Une formation a-t-elle été dispensée aux exploitants des terres/ autres parties prenantes?

Oui

Spécifiez qui a été formé:

• exploitants des terres

• SWC specialists

Formats de la formation:

• sur le tas
• zones de démonstration

Thèmes abordés:

general and frequent traing and followup

4.2 Service de conseils

Les exploitants des terres ont-ils accès à un service de conseils?

Oui

Spécifiez si le service de conseils est fourni:

• dans les champs des exploitants?
• dans des centres permanents

Décrivez/ commentez:

Name of method used for advisory service: Training and visit; Key elements: training, demonstration, followup; 1) Advisory service was carried out through: government's existing extension system; Extension staff: mainly government employees 2) Target groups for extension: land users; Activities: planning, surveying, constructio and evaluation

Advisory service is inadequate to ensure the continuation of land conservation activities; there should be further empowerment through training

4.3 Renforcement des institutions (développement organisationnel)

Des institutions ont elles été mises en place ou renforcées par le biais de l'Approche?

• oui, beaucoup

Spécifiez à quel(s) niveau(x), ces institutions ont été renforcées ou mises en place:

• local

Précisez le type de soutien:

• renforcement des capacités/ formation

4.4 Suivi et évaluation

Le suivi et l'évaluation font ils partie de l'Approche? :

Oui

Commentaires:

bio-physical aspects were regular monitored through observations; indicators: number of farmers practising SLM measures

bio-physical aspects were regular monitored through measurements; indicators: amount of work done

technical aspects were regular monitored through observations; indicators: quality of work

economic / production aspects were regular monitored through observations; indicators: extent of work done

area treated aspects were regular monitored through measurement

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

5.1 Budget annuel de la composante GDT de l'Approche

Commentez (par ex. principales sources de financement/ principaux bailleurs de fonds):

Approach costs were met by the following donors: government (national): 3.0%; local community / land user(s) (-): 97.0%

5.4 Crédits

Des crédits ont-ils été alloués à travers l'Approche pour les activités de GDT?

Non

6.1 Impacts de l'Approche

6.3 Durabilité des activités de l'Approche

Les exploitants des terres peuvent-ils poursuivre ce qui a été mis en œuvre par le biais de l'Approche (sans soutien extérieur)?

• incertain

Si non ou incertain, spécifiez et commentez:

there is a problem of in provision of adequate training, inputs. In some cases there is a problem of dipossing exess water safely therefore it needs a closed technical support and follow up

6.4 Points forts/ avantages de l'Approche

Points forts/ avantages/ possibilités du point de vue de l'exploitant des terres
decrease lands that can be degraded more and improve the production of land (How to sustain/ enhance this strength: training, follow up)

Points forts/ avantages/ possibilités du point de vue du compilateur ou d'une autre personne ressource clé
improve the attituede of farmers on conservation works (How to sustain/ enhance this strength: it shoud be supported through training, motivation/ rewarding and follow up)
