2.1 Courte description de l'Approche

The approach involves, the use of incentives to motivate particpation of communities in the planning and implementation of SWC activities which improve land productivity and income.

2.2 Description détaillée de l'Approche

Description détaillée de l'Approche:

Aims / objectives: The purpose is to tackle food shortages of the participating households in preventing and controlling soil erosion by conserving soil and water and through improving soil fertility, enhance the production and productivity of lands, which are aimed at improving the income of the communities and hence improving livlihoods. The specific objective of the approach is to enable each individual land user to be aware of land degradation problem and the use of SWC. . The approach includes discussion during general meetings on the concept, discussion of SWC specialist with community memebers, demonstration, and conducting training.

Stages of implementation: The stages of implementation include site selection, making participatory work plan, selection of participants, construction of structures and planting trees.

Role of stakeholders: Communities participate in palnning and management, implementation of the technology which consists of soil consrevation and stablizing of bunds by planting suitable plant species.

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

2.8 Principaux objectifs de l'Approche

The Approach focused mainly on SLM with other activities (Infrastructure development, water harvesting, income generating)

To allviate the problem of food insecurity and to rehabilitate the degraded lands by involving the communities in planning and implementaion of SWC activities.

The SLM Approach addressed the following problems: Land degradation, soil erosion, food insecurity and low soil fertility.

	Participation des exploitants locaux des terres/ communautés locales	Spécifiez qui était impliqué et décrivez les activités
initiation/ motivation	interactive	Mainly:public meetings; partly: interviews/questionnaires; At this stage public meeting is important to change land users attitudes.
planification	interactive	workshops/seminars, rapid/participatory rural appraisal
mise en œuvre	soutien extérieur	Mainly: responsibility for major steps; partly: responsibility for minor steps; Proirity is given to highly degraded areas for treatment.
suivi/ évaluation	aucun
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:

During the community meatings land users choose the proper SWC technology. The SWC specialists give explanation on the importance/use of the technology.

Decisions on the method of implementing the SLM Technology were made by mainly by land users supported by SLM specialists. Eventhough land users can make decissions on the methods of implementing SWC technology, advise from SWC specialist is required.

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 (1), extensionists/trainers (3)

Formats de la formation:

• sur le tas
• zones de démonstration
• réunions publiques

Thèmes abordés:

Training on how to rehabilitate degraded lands by closing the area, laying out and constructing of physical and biological techniques to conserve soil and water and how to maintain them.

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?

Décrivez/ commentez:

Name of method used for advisory service: Conventional extension package: Household package; Key elements: mass mobilization (regular extension package), group work (MERET), family labour (Household package); 1) Mainly: government's existing extension system, Partly: projects own extension structure and agent; Extension staff: mainly government employees 2) Target groups for extension: land users; Activities: implement soil and water conservation activites.

Advisory service is quite adequate to ensure the continuation of land conservation activities; Awarness creation given to SWC specialists and land users, so that they will be able to practice SWC technologies. As a result, substantial amount of degraded land have been rehabilitated and made productive.

4.3 Renforcement des institutions (développement organisationnel)

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

• oui, un peu

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

• local

• seedlings

4.4 Suivi et évaluation

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

Oui

Commentaires:

There were few changes in the Approach as a result of monitoring and evaluation: Following the recommendations made through the evaluation and monitoring work, some changes in the way technolologies and techniques have been applied could be changed / adjusted. Exmple: layout procedures standards, design and choice of techniques

4.5 Recherche

La recherche a-t-elle fait partie intégrante de l’Approche?

Oui

Spécifiez les thèmes:

• technologie

Donnez plus de détails et indiquez qui a mené ces recherches:

Practicing, recording and reporting of activities, achievements and impacts have been part of the work. Hence observations and trials on technologies have enabled the project to screen best practices and management techniques.

Research was carried out on-farm

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: international (WFP): 80.0%; government (national): 20.0%

5.2 Soutiens financiers/ matériels fournis aux exploitants des terres

Les exploitants des terres ont-ils reçu un soutien financier/ matériel pour la mise en œuvre de la Technologie/ des Technologies?

Oui

5.3 Subventions pour des intrants spécifiques (incluant la main d'œuvre)

• équipement

• intrants agricoles

• infrastructures

Si la main d'œuvre fournie par les exploitants des terres était un intrant substantiel, elle était:

• vivres-contre-travail

Commentaires:

community works 80% for food for work and 20% as voluntary contribution

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 are different types of supports: without specialists, technical support it is most unlikely that they will continue specially on communal lands. Without incentives the approach could be continued on individual land holdings as well as on communal lands, but there could be some communities who without food support may not be able to support their livelihoods until they create their own assets
