2.1 Courte description de l'Approche

Community requested assistance to combat soil erosion, only possible when 'Drought Relief Funds' became available.

2.2 Description détaillée de l'Approche

Description détaillée de l'Approche:

Aims / objectives: During the national drought of 1992, the Government made funds available for job creation to temporarily alleviate poverty in the rural areas. This community, with a population of approximately 4000, applied for funds, and suggested that the funds be used to combat soil erosion within their communal area of 3800 ha. The area was inspected by technicians from the then Lebowa Government: Directorate Agricultural Engineering, and a project site was identified where both proven high technology methods, as well as novel and unproven low technology biological methods, which can easily be adopted by relatively unskilled workers from the community, could be tried. Work started in 1992 with sufficient funds for six months. Fortunately, for the project, the national drought continued and funds were made available again during the subsequent three years for six monthly periods. No work has been done on the project since 1996 because of a lack of funds. In view of the visible improvement of the environment, the community is keen to expand the project to include more techniques to make the project more viable. The project has proved to be highly educational, not only to the local community, but also to all other communities who have visited the project. A prime example is that of the two communities from the Western Region who have adopted and adapted similar techniques at their own projects.

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 (Job creation. Empower the community to practice conservation, increase production of their natural resources and to improve their quality of life. Improve biodiversity. Demonstration model for researcher & other communities.)

Rehabilitation of the environment by trapping run-off rain water to plant trees, grass and other vegetation to improve the general biodiversity.

The SLM Approach addressed the following problems: Soil degradation caused by water erosion as a result of over utilisation.

	Participation des exploitants locaux des terres/ communautés locales	Spécifiez qui était impliqué et décrivez les activités
initiation/ motivation	interactive	Mainly:public meetings; partly: rapid/participatory rural appraisal; Community meeting never regularly, meeting as often as needed, on side participation.

mise en œuvre	interactive	Mainly: casual labour; partly: responsibility for major steps; The specialists planned and discussed it with the people
suivi/ évaluation	interactive	measurements/observations; Observation by technical staff, regularly reporting to the Department
Research	passive	on-farm; Continuous contact while working on the project.

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

• principalement les spécialistes de la GDT, après consultation des exploitants des terres

Expliquez:

consultative. Suggestions are made by technical staff to the local community for ratification.

Decisions on the method of implementing the SLM Technology were made by mainly by SLM specialists with consultation of land users. consultative. Mutual discussion between technical staff and local community.

At the beginning the workers regarded the work mainly as a source of income (How to sustain/ enhance this strength: Lack of understanding. After some rain had fallen that they came to realise what was being accomplished, and their enthusiasm grew steadily from that time.)
