2. SLM方法的描述

2.1 该方法的简要说明

Establishing vegetable plots for women enables them to increase their incomes and improve their health by increasing and diversifying agricultural production and improving the nutritional quality of their food.

2.2 该方法的详细说明

该方法的详细说明:

Market gardening also enables women to set up savings funds through their associations, builds their capacity to organise and manage market gardens and improves their cultivation techniques. Market gardens set up by women’s associations are usually sited adjacent to lowland areas or rivers so as to facilitate access to water, which is extracted from wells. The areas of these market gardens range from 0.5 to 1 hectare depending on the size of the association and the opportunities for selling produce locally. Allotment sizes range from 80 to 120 square metres per woman. The number of growers per market garden is no greater than 70 women per hectare and 35 women per half-hectare. Women receive a grant in the form of equipment and agricultural inputs. The wells created for the market gardens are 1.4 metres in diameter, have 60-centimetre-high well heads and 30-centimetre-wide footpaths from which to water crops. Eight wells are installed per hectare across the site.
1)A women’s association puts forward its needs, 2)The BØRNEfonden Development Unit carries out a scoping study, 3) Women are organised into an association, 4) The women contribute their share of the costs (10% of the investment costs), 5) A site with guaranteed access to water (i.e. close to the water table) is enclosed, 6)The market garden’s wells are dug, 7)Financial support is provided during the first growing season to pay for equipment and agricultural inputs, 8)The association undertakes a self-assessment and draws up a training plan, 9)BØRNEfonden’s Development Units provide time-limited advisory support, the duration of which depends on capacity-building needs and ranges from three to five years per village. A four-month period of advisory support is allotted to service providers (technical services and consultancies). In order to achieve the best outcomes, it is important to define rules and requirements upfront. These requirements are met by developing an internal control system and nominating an internal control committee. The beneficiaries draw up the management procedures for their site, setting out how it is accessed and how women farmers are selected through internal regulation. Selected committee members receive training in organising and managing the site. Management tools are put in place for this purpose. A plan for the growing season is drawn up with women growers, which means needs can also be evaluated. BØRNEfonden provides the funding. The production costs of sold crops are evaluated and the required funds are then reimbursed by growers through the payment of subscription fees, using a payment system that they have collectively defined. Subscriptions paid by the women are safely set aside in the savings fund created by the association in order to ensure repayments can be made on the equipment paid for by BØRNEfonden.
The women’s association makes a suitable site available and prepares the soil (clearing, grubbing and ploughing). It also contributes a 10% share of the investment and opens a bank account to provide for the repayment of the investment. BØRNEfonden undertakes site development works (laying out, well digging, fencing), carries out crop planning, buys in equipment and agricultural inputs, installs nurseries, establishes and allocates plots, prepares seedbeds, transplants seedlings, and deploys plant health products and fertilisers. BØRNEfonden supports scheme farmers with the growing, harvesting and sale of produce. Local authorities sign the service contracts established between BØRNEfonden and the private contractors hired when the market garden activities got underway (well digging and site fencing). Government and consultancy technical services are involved in performing studies, delivering training in cultivation techniques and monitoring vegetable growing plots.

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

This new occupation deters women from taking up traditional practices that involve deforestation or environmental damage (gold mining). In light of these very encouraging levels of income, women producers will be more interested in sustaining and continuing their market gardening activities.

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

focus on women

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

The activity has been operating since 2008 with increasing success. Since 2008, 21 development units have supported the installation and management of 57 market gardens, 14 nutrition gardens (based on strip-farmed food crops and jujubes), and 286 wells across a total area of 32.3 hectares. The total number of women farmers involved stands at 2,752. Schemes were installed in 27 communes across the three circles of Yanfolila, Bougouni and Dioïla in the regions of Koulikoro and Sikasso. 26 villages benefited from the installation of market gardens in 12 rural communes in the Koulikoro Region. 31 villages benefited from the installation of market gardens in 15 communes in the Sikasso Region.

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

Dietary diversification resulting from the communities’ (and particularly children’s) access to vegetables and the introduction of certain crops like potato and French beans. The consumption of vegetables and having the financial means to buy different kinds of foods improve the nutritional quality of diets.

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

Some of these women have already been able to capitalise on their incomes by buying livestock (cows, small ruminants). Ensuring women are well organised across the market garden site, promoting good management and increasing the purchasing power of producers are equally important factors in achieving sustainability.

6.2 土地使用者实施SLM的主要动机

  • 增加生产
  • 增加利润(能力),提高成本效益比
  • 支付/补贴

6.3 方法活动的可持续性

土地使用者能否维持通过该方法实施的措施(无外部支持的情况下)?:
若是,请说明如何维持:

The women are now able to reproduce the same approaches. With BØRNEfonden’s support, they have the funds to buy good quality agricultural inputs, which guarantees good production. The savings held in their bank accounts help with equipment repayments.

6.4 该方法的长处/优点

编制者或其他关键资源人员认为的长处/优势/机会
Environmental impacts: a sharp drop in the overcutting of trees to make charcoal, and a sharp drop in traditional gold mining activities and their negative environmental impacts
The consumption of vegetables and having the financial means to buy different kinds of foods improve the nutritional quality of diets.
Dietary diversification resulting from the communities’ (and particularly children’s) access to vegetables and the introduction of certain crops like potato and French beans.
Women’s takings from their vegetable crops range from 35,000 to 125,000 CFA francs, depending on the production scenario and location. We have recorded sales of between 7.5 and 8 tonnes of potato resulting from 25 crates of seed potato. Sold at a rate of 225 CFA francs per kilogram, this generates a total of between 1,687,500 to 1,800,000 CFA francs.
Strengthening the capacities of women vegetable growers ensures the sustainability of this good practice. Indeed, the women are now able to reproduce the same approaches. With
BØRNEfonden’s support, they have the funds to buy good quality agricultural inputs, which guarantees good production. The savings held in their bank accounts help with equipment
repayments.
Market gardening is now being carried out at times when women would traditionally have been without work and lacking money and food. This new occupation deters women from taking up traditional practices that involve deforestation or environmental damage (gold mining). In light of these very encouraging levels of income, women producers will be more interested in sustaining and continuing their market gardening activities. Some of these women have already been able to capitalise on their incomes by buying livestock (cows, small ruminants). Ensuring women are well organised across the market garden site, promoting good management and increasing the purchasing power of producers are equally important factors in achieving sustainability.

6.5 该方法的弱点/缺点以及克服它们的方法

编制者或其他关键资源人员认为的弱点/缺点/风险 如何克服它们?
The constraints to report relate to: low-rainfall periods (drying up of wells), pests attacking crops, and problems selling crops (poor sales, low sale prices).
