1.4 SLM技术问卷的参考

2.1 该方法的简要说明

On-farm indigenous pasture establishment demonstrations offer a practical approach to encourage adoption in the arid and semi-arid environments in Kenya.

2.2 该方法的详细说明

该方法的详细说明:

The characteristic feature of the demonstration approach is the interaction of different stakeholders in on-farm showcasing of sustainable land management technologies. The stakeholders include land users, NGOs, SLM specialists, local government officials and university researchers. SLM specialists and university researchers, with the help of local government and NGO field officers demonstrate the entire process of grass reseeding from site selection, seedbed preparation, grass species selection, weeding, monitoring and evaluation of both plant and soil parameters. The method comprises on-farm demonstrations both at individual, and pastoral and agropastoral group sites, and a model demonstration site within the university premises. The role of the main stakeholders involved in the process are sharing the knowledge, skills and technology (the SLM specialists; researchers from the university), linking the SLM specialists with the pastoral communities, sharing their experiences through on-farm demonstrations and explanations of similar technologies local government (county officials), sharing knowledge of past experiences and skills (local NGOs). The end users of the technologies, namely the pastoral communities share their indigenous technical knowledge related to natural resource management. In this case study the end-users comprised approximately 40 livestock keepers. Over five visits and through the demonstrations, they liked the approach because it was more practical being on-farm (“seeing is believing”). It was appreciated as being easily replicated on their own land under the same local conditions of climate, soil type, grass species, methods of land preparation, and land use system. After interacting with the SLM specialists from the universities during the visits and on-farm demonstrations, land-users have adopted the technology to ensure a continuous supply of pasture for their livestock.

2.7 方法的类型

• 最近的本地倡议/创新

2.8 该方法的主要目的/目标

2.9 推动或妨碍实施本办法所适用的技术的条件

3.1 该方法涉及的利益相关者及其职责

3.2 当地土地使用者/当地社区参与该方法的不同阶段

	当地土地使用者/当地社区的参与	指定参与人员并描述活动
启动/动机	互动	Local land users involved in the site selection and involved in the plans of the project. Local land users share their indigenous technical knowledge gained through years of experience on aspects such as: which species are preferred by grazing animals (i.e. ranking of different forage species); which grass species perform better under different rainfall regimes, topography and soil types; which grass species are best suited for soil conservation and soil erosion control.
计划	互动	Local land users actively involved in deciding on schedule for land users visits and demonstrations. Local land users participate and contribute to the planning of sowing dates, methods of land preparation, grass species selection in relation to their individual taste and preference and intended use (fodder for livestock, soil conservation and combating degradation, large-scale seed production).
实施	互动	Demonstration conducted on individual 'farms'/ pastures and local land users implement the technologies as 'model land users'.
监测/评估	互动	Constant communication through short message services (SMS) and telephone calls on progress and challenges as land users monitor changes, e.g. seed germination and seedling establishment. Local land users report this to the SLM specialists e.g. researchers in the university and post-graduate students involved in the projects.
Research	被动	Research is mainly conducted by SLM specialists at university and students. The local government is also involved in research since some of the students recruited to be part of the project: for example PhD and MSc students are permanently employed by the local government. Local land users share their indigenous technical knowledge through one-on-one informal discussions/sessions between them and the SLM specialists and students.

6.5 该方法的弱点/缺点以及克服它们的方法

土地使用者认为的弱点/缺点/风险	如何克服它们？
Source of conflict between land user where the on-farm demonstration has been conducted and other neighbouring land users e.g. diverting runoff in the upland thus reducing the volume of rainwater reaching farms located down-slope.	Continuous capacity building, knowledge sharing and sensitization.
Choice of on-farm demonstration site at an individual land owner can lead to jealousies among other land users. Choice of on-farm demonstration site at an individual land owner can lead to aggravation among other land users.	Use of communal or group owned land for on-farm demonstrations.
Allocation of time to attend the on-farm demonstrations. The approach is often conducted before the onset of the rains, when the land users are busy preparing their own farms for sowing. This might lead to low turn-out during demonstrations.	In consultation with the land users, set the date(s) when majority of the land users are available.

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？
Language barrier (SLM specialists and land users).	Involving a local land user/personnel to bridge the gap.
