2.1 Descrição curta da abordagem

Eradication of invasive alien plants to enhance water sustainability by increasing run-off into dams & rivers.

2.2 Descrição detalhada da abordagem

Descrição detalhada da abordagem:

Aims / objectives: Programme started in October 1995, employing previously disadvantaged unemployed people to clear invading trees in catchments and along rivers. This has been going on for approximately 4 years. The leading department is the Department of Water Affairs and Forestry but they have been in partnerships with a number of other departments e.g. Land Affairs, Agriculture, South African National Parks, Welfare etc. Labour intensive methods are used to clear trees and apply herbicides to prevent regrowth. Where in sensitive areas, rehabilitation techniques are employed e.g. sowing grass seeds and re-establishing indigenous plants. There are also some wetland rehabilitation projects across the country where engineering techniques are used to rehabilitate wetlands. The Inter-departmental approach is unique in the country, but very important as objectives span all departments. The work is done on farmland, community land, private company land and governmental land. New laws will force landowners to clear large stands of alien trees in future and this programme offers landowners a way of clearing their land before the law is enforced. The approach is to use labour intensive clearing techniques to provide jobs and also tackle an ecological problem. In so doing, the programme tackles socio-economic issues and environmental issues. The major objective is to create sustainable water supplies in a drought prone country; hence - Working for Water'- (providing work to unemployed and increasing water availability).

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

3.1 Partes interessadas envolvidas na abordagem e seus papéis

3.2 Envolvimento do usuários de terra/comunidades locais nas diferentes fases da abordagem

	Envolvimento do usuários de terra/comunidades locais	Especifique quem estava envolvido e descreva as atividades
Iniciação/motivação	Passivo	rapid/participatory rural appraisal; Land owners informed of project and project manager determines if possible to work on land
Planejamento	Participativo	rapid/participatory rural appraisal; Alien vegetation mapped at 1: 50 000, social dynamics determined, availability of funding plays a major role
Implementação	Apoio externo	Mainly: casual labour; partly: responsibility for minor steps; Community supplies labour to clear trees; can be responsible to provide transport etc.
Monitoramento/avaliação	Passivo	Local people (farmers, communities) provide valuable feedback on progress; evaluation process mostly external
Research	Passivo

3.4 Decisão sobre a seleção de tecnologia/tecnologias de GST

Especifique quem decidiu sobre a seleção de tecnologia/tecnologias a serem implementadas:

• Políticos/líderes

Explique:

directive (top-down).

Decisions on the method of implementing the SLM Technology were made by mainly by SLM specialists with consultation of land users. directive (top-down).

4.1 Reforço das capacidades/ formação

Foi oferecida formação aos usuários da terra/outras partes interessadas?

Sim

Tipo de formação:

• Em exercício
• Cursos

Assuntos abordados:

Alien plant awareness, water conservation awareness, all workers are given an introduction course on program principles

4.3 Fortalecimento da instituição (desenvolvimento organizacional)

As instituições foram fortalecidas ou estabelecidas através da abordagem?

• Sim, pouco

Especifique a que nível (níveis) as instituições foram fortalecidas ou estabelecidas:

• Local

4.4 Monitoramento e avaliação

Monitoramento e avaliação são partes da abordagem?

Sim

Comentários:

technical aspects were regular monitored through measurements

socio-cultural aspects were ad hoc monitored through observations

economic / production aspects were regular monitored through measurements

area treated aspects were regular monitored through measurements

management of Approach aspects were regular monitored through measurements

There were many changes in the Approach as a result of monitoring and evaluation: External M & E identified many problems in implementation of approach and inefficient operations standards were developed and are being applied. More stress on productivity. More detailed and planned social awareness projects were implemented rather than ad hoc approaches.

6.4 Pontos fortes/vantagens da abordagem

Pontos fortes/vantagens/oportunidades na visão do usuário da terra
Sustainable water supply in drought prone areas (How to sustain/ enhance this strength: Bring alien plant invasions to a sustainable/maintenance level to allow landowners minimal input to control them)
Increased biodiversity in invaded areas (How to sustain/ enhance this strength: Bring alien plant invasions to a sustainable/maintenance level to allow landowners minimal input to control them)
Empowerment at local communities (How to sustain/ enhance this strength: WFW is just a kick start for the communities, once they have receive training they are empowered to seek jobs elsewhere)
Vehicle for many other departments to reach a large number of people (e.g. for HIV/AIDS awareness, rape/abuse) (How to sustain/ enhance this strength: WFW is just a kick start for the communities, once they have receive training they are empowered to seek jobs elsewhere)

Lack of planning	Sustainable and assured funding will allow for better planning and mapping
Lack of adequate alien vegetation maps	Sustainable and assured funding will allow for better planning and mapping
Lack of national weeds policy	Need to mobilise relevant departments to start work
Lack of follow-up because of inadequate planning and mapping
