2.1 Descrição curta da abordagem

Adaptive Agro-ecosystem Micro-catchment Approach.

2.2 Descrição detalhada da abordagem

Descrição detalhada da abordagem:

Aims / objectives: SLM knowledge skill generation and capacity building. Improved group and community strength, sustainability, organization and their capacity to benefit and invest in SLM. Motivation of community participation in SLM through use of quick win project, income generating activities, rural micro finance institutions, marketing and active engagement of disadvantaged groups.

Make use and build on already existing and new groups, existing institutions and the community as a whole. Strategic use of easily available and accessible available community institutions/ infrastructures (school and dispensaries sites) to demonstrate and promote basket of choice of SLM technologies. Learning by doing on the job, practical training, adoption and adaptation to local reality.

Stages of implementation: Site characterization through land degradation analysis (LADA) and development of community site specific SLM plan exemplifying SLM interventions needed to address the identified degradation types. Set up and identification of approaches needed to execute identified interventions complementary approaches. Sensitization and awareness creation to the community and actual execution of approaches.

2.7 Tipo de abordagem

  • Baseado em projeto/programa

2.8 Principais metas/objetivos da abordagem

The Approach focused mainly on SLM with other activities (Motivating quick win income generation activities, rural microfinance institutions, marketing and HIV/AIDS controll.)

Knowledge/skill generation, demonstration and sustainability of SLM activities.
Motivate active participation of the community.
Inculcate a sense of community ownership/ community take charge of SLM activities.

The SLM Approach addressed the following problems: Lack of technical knowledge
Low investment capacity
Malpractice and mismanagement of local resources (e.g. fire burning, ploughing along the slope).
Adequate supervision, monitoring and law enforcement.

2.9 Condição que propiciam ou inibem a implementação de tecnologia/tecnologias aplicada(s) segundo a abordagem

Normas e valores sociais/culturais/religiosos
  • Inibitivo

Negative cultural believes that fire burning can lead to one living long or reach older age.

Treatment through the SLM Approach: Change of mind set through FFS training, demos and community sensitization.

Disponibilidade/acesso a recursos e serviços financeiros
  • Inibitivo

Low investment capacity and inability to access supportive resources

Treatment through the SLM Approach: Easy access to TAMP supportive resources.

Quadro institucional
  • Inibitivo

Narrow coverage of the district, local institutions not involved in in SLM.

Treatment through the SLM Approach: Higher coverage, ope-rationalization of SLM in LGA system.

Quadro jurídico (posse de terra, direitos de uso da terra e da água)
  • Propício

The existing land ownership, land use rights / water rights helped a little the approach implementation: Hindrance is usually observant for approaches which need long term commitment of land resources (e.g perennial crops) but is minimal for short term (annuals and biannual).
Open access land resources are difficult to manage.

  • Inibitivo

Reluctance of the village to issue land, less protection of open access land resources.

Treatment through the SLM Approach: land issuing for FFS/Demo use legally recognized through signing of Memorandum Of Understanding (MOU) between the village and land users/SLM groups. Bylaws reinforcement to protect mismanagement of open access land resources.

Conhecimento sobre GST, acesso a suporte técnico
  • Inibitivo

Inadequate understanding and use of SLM technical knowledge (both scientific and indigenous) to address land degradation problems.

Treatment through the SLM Approach: Up scaling use of scientific SLM knowledge.
Documentation, evaluation, analysis and sharing of successful indigenous SLM technical knowledge.

Carga de trabalho, disponibilidade de força de trabalho
  • Inibitivo

High workload to extension officers (due to their shortage).


Treatment through the SLM Approach: Build a local resource base in facilitating SLM activities through introduction of community SLM facilitators and Micro-catchment committee.

Outro
  • Inibitivo

Low motivation due to long term realization of SLM benefits.

Treatment through the SLM Approach: introduce SLM related quick win projects and income generation activities (IGA).

6.3 Atividades de sustentabilidade de abordagem

Os usuários da terra podem manter o que foi implementado através da abordagem (sem apoio externo)?
  • Sim
Caso afirmativo, descreva como:

Farmers have realized the benefit of SLM. The village historical track records and experience indicate that farmers in Kirusha village usually continue what ever they come to realize is implemented for their own benefit. Further more, establishment of local human resource in SLM in terms of FFS facilitators and micro-catchment committee and their ope-rationalization into LGA systems is an assure way towards sustainability.
Motivation induced through quick win income generating activities (goat production, chicken, piggery, fruit tree nurseries and apiaries) and easy to manage demo set at Kirushya primary school and dispensary (reachable and easily accessible) are added assurance for project sustainability.
