2. SLM方法的描述

2.1 该方法的简要说明

Land Management Group uniting all households in a community to plan and implement SLM and cash-generating activities

2.2 该方法的详细说明

该方法的详细说明:

Aims / objectives: A Land Management Group (LMG) unites all households of a village and aims to advocate, plan and implement SLM activities, based on the land-based issues of that particular community. The LMG has formal by-laws, drafted interactively with the community, and has its own group saving account, as access to credit and proper savings is still a real constraint in remote areas. A first LMG was started in 2008 in Drunggoenpa chiog in Radhi geog, Trashigang Dzongkhag, East-Bhutan. The idea for the LMG was based on pioneering work of the Renewable Natural Resource Research Centre Bajo, Wangdue Dzongkhag, in Salamji chiog, Dagana Dzongkhag.

Methods: In an effort to reinforce the social cohesion of communities and to improve the efficiency of planning for implementing SLM interventions, SLMP has initiated Land Management Groups. A LMG is considered very useful to overcome one of the main constraints of SLM implementation in Bhutan: labour-shortage. Many individual households have a growing lack of labour and therefore difficulties to implement labour-intensive SLM activities such as terracing, stone bunding or afforestation work.

Stages of implementation: LMGs are especially suitable for smaller communities, where households live relatively close to each other and have a good community bond. Instead of inter-acting with many individual households separately, the extension staff can also target their services, such as training programmes and technical guidance, to the group. The Drunggoenpa LMG was supported in their group formation process with regular meetings and took part in the annual participatory SLM action plan-ning for the chiog, identifying key land-based problems, their causes and possi-ble SLM interventions. Implementation of these SLM activities, such as grass strip establishment, stone check dam construction, group private forest establishment, vegetable production and tree and bamboo plantation, was carried out in a labour-sharing approach. Pooling labour in the group, all the land of the group members is converted or treated.

Role of stakeholders: This enables vulnerable families including single-headed households and the poorest-of-poor, to participate and get access to more labour-intensive SLM interventions. Apart from the pure SLM interventions, attention is given to cash-generating activities such as vegetable production and potato cultivation, to enhance the livelihoods of the farmers.

Other important information: Costs of forming a LMG including implementation of a series of SLM activities at the village level are limited(less than US$2,000 annually).

6. 影响分析和结论性陈述

6.1 方法的影响

该方法是否帮助土地使用者实施和维护SLM技术?:
  • 是,很少
  • 是,中等
  • 是,支持力度很大

Soil and water conservation efforts have improved considerably with at least o.5 ha of land converted to/treated with SLM, such as grass strips, stone check dams and bamboo and tree plantation areas. A visible impact has been made as the area of grass strips and developing bench terraces are visible for the whole municipality.

该方法是否有助于社会和经济弱势群体?:
  • 是,很少
  • 是,中等
  • 是,支持力度很大

The most vulnerable household are members of the group, representing the poorest families and female-headed households. Some of the hands-on trainings were carried out on the land of these households to give them first access and overcome their labour shortage constraint.

Did other land users / projects adopt the Approach?
  • 是,很少
  • 是,中等
  • 是,支持力度很大

Approach has been rolled out to other communities in Trashigang Dzongkhag to scaling-up municipalities of SLMP, based on the experiences with the Drung Goenpa Land Management Group

Did the Approach lead to improved livelihoods / human well-being?
  • 是,很少
  • 是,中等
  • 是,支持力度很大

Moderate improvement of livelihoods through improved vegetable production (now self-sufficiency and cash generating), stabilization of land degradation, better workability of cropland through grass strip and bench terrace development and improved animal production through improved fodder quality and availability. Also the workload has been reduced by collecting fodder through cut-and-carry near the farm from the grass strips, instead of having to walk far to the forest for fodder collection. The group approach is able to tackle the labour constraint faced previously and includes all vulnerable households.

Did the Approach help to alleviate poverty?
  • 是,很少
  • 是,中等
  • 是,支持力度很大

Considerable improvement in food self-sufficiency / security by vegetable production and increased yield on cropland treated with grass strips. Also clear improvement of animal production because of fodder improvement with the grass strips providing readily available quality fodder. Potato has now become a cash crop and some households sell vegetables, whereas they had to purchase in the recent past.
