2.1 Courte description de l'Approche

Participatory SLM action planning is an approach that identifies community-based and land-based issues and challenges, establishes the root causes, and finds out mitigation measures to address the issues for enhancing rural livelihoods.

2.2 Description détaillée de l'Approche

Description détaillée de l'Approche:

Participatory SLM Action Planning (SLM AP) is a methodology intended to assess potential SLM interventions in order to address the most severe problems of land degradation. Priorities are determined by identifying the main local issues and their root causes, as well as land-based livelihoods and resources. All community households are included in SLM AP, which is conducted at the chiwog (village) levels. It incorporates Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) & Participatory Learning Action (PLA) tools such as natural resource mapping, problem censuses, cropping calendars, history lines, prioritization, ranking and ultimately drawing up a realistic SLM action plan. An external resource person facilitates the discussion while the community decides the final action plan. The process is very interactive and focus group discussions are organized specially for facilitating women’s active participation.
Prior to the SLM action planning exercise, sensitization to available SLM technologies is a must. The sensitization program includes pictorial presentations, relevant SLM audio visuals and displaying of SLM posters. After community sensitization on the first day, the actual SLM action planning exercise is conducted the next day. The participants can discuss with their family members and identify which interventions to incorporate in the plan. The stakeholders involved in the planning exercise consists of community members, local leaders, community civil servants and resource persons. The role of the local leader is to identify interventions that benefits the whole community such as community plantations, landslide stabilization along farm roads, community water source protection and a capacity building program for rural livelihood improvements.
Though this is a holistic bottom-up approach, some of the activities may not qualify for endorsement in the final action plan due to a limited budget and high-cost investments with few beneficiaries. The other drawback is that for every action plan, travel of 3 to 4 days is needed in in every chiwog. In general, the SLM action plan consists of individual household plans and a community SLM plan. Therefore, since every household is included and action plans drawn, land users are satisfied with the approach.

Best approach in empowering rural land users.
Experts needed to facilitate only
Ensures sustainability and successful program implementation

6.5 Faiblesses/ inconvénients de l'Approche et moyens de les surmonter

Faiblesses/ inconvénients/ risques du point de vue de l’exploitant des terres	Comment peuvent-ils être surmontés?
Expertise and knowledge gap	consult SLM specialist
Elite land users dominating the decision making power	Give equal opportunity to all actors in decision making.
Poor participation or un-responsive participants during meetings	Meeting to be attended by head of the household or one who can decide and have decision making power.

Faiblesses/ inconvénients/ risques du point de vue du compilateur ou d'une autre personne ressource clé	Comment peuvent-ils être surmontés?
Difficult to fulfill all demands enlisted in the action plan ( ambitious plan). Some interventions are outside project scope while its of utmost importance to the community such as farm road construction, human wildlife conflicts and new irrigation channel construction requiring high investment.	Sensitization on Project scope, its intended supports and forward the outside project activities to the local government for sourcing funds.
Taking program at chiwog level is time consuming and its resource intensive.	Systematic planning and proper budget from initial phase
Some land users takes opportunity of the project support though its not much important to them ( free inputs).	Periodic monitoring to ensure the proper utilization.
