2. SLM方法的描述

2.1 该方法的简要说明

This approach – driven by communities and supported by various agencies - aims to revive and strengthen the traditional natural resource management institutions of Boran pastoralists in Northern Kenya. The traditional system, which was devised by the Boran pastoral community and honed over centuries to suit the challenges of the rangelands, has been steadily eroded by external factors and formalised systems after the emergence of the nation-state.

2.2 该方法的详细说明

该方法的详细说明:

Pastoral Community Members together with the Jarsa Dedha (the council of elders who control the use of grazing land and its resources) are at the forefront of reinvigorating traditions of rangeland management. To achieve this, they have been supported by organizations including the Ward Adaptation Planning Committees (WAPC), the Resource Advocacy Programme (RAP) and the International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED). There has been a focus on reviving traditional institutions and systems of managing of natural resources to help communities adapt to climate change.
One specific project that has assisted the re-empowerment of the Dedha institutions was StARCK+ (funded by DfID). StARCK+ was founded on an understanding and an appreciation of the traditional natural resource governance of the Boran pastoral community. Responding to participatory demand it undertook to help strengthen this customary natural resource management system. Various agencies have also conducted research on the traditional institution and investigated how it could be improved. These include IIED, (UK), the University of Nairobi, (Kenya) and the University of Sussex (UK).
The Jarsa Dedha is an indigenous institution, through which customary laws and provisions guide the management of natural resources. The Boran of Isiolo County, Kenya, like their kin in southern Ethiopia, derive their customary laws from an overall supreme general assembly called the Gadha. The Gadha governing council preserves traditional laws and codes of conduct, as well as issuing amendments and additions based on the evolving environmental, social and cultural context. The Gadha system has a set of laws and provisions (seere), customs and culture (aada), and norms and values that govern society.

The recognition and observance of seere and aada are still considered vital for the wellbeing of the community, and the Gadha Council remains a legitimate institution in the eyes of Borana society. However, adherence to these laws is declining and the power of Borana customary institutions to enforce regulations is being undermined in a number of ways.
The reasons for weakening traditional institutions are basically poor recognition by the county and national government, and non-compliance with the rules due to changing socio-cultural norms. The council of elders that govern grazing resources, the Jarsa Dedha, which is the custodian of these unwritten rules and regulations locally, no longer has sufficient capacity or authority to enforce them as it had done prior to colonial rule. With climate change, pasture and water supplies are becoming scarcer and there is no other better way to govern land than the traditional system: that is why reviving, strengthening and improving the system was much welcomed through the advent of the StARCK+ project and the initiatives and support that have followed.
Looking towards the future, the rules of governing natural resources have been collected and formed into a draft county customary natural resource governance bill. This, if passed by the County Assembly, would represent a very significant step, by legitimising the traditional system of rangeland management through the Jarsa Dedha.

3.3 流程图(如可用)

具体说明:

The Dedha traditional system of managing resources has internal hierarchy at different levels i.e. Olla (homestead), Artha (locality) and Dedha (a large area). Although planning and minor decisions are made at local levels, major and binding decisions are agreed at Dedha level on grazing and management of pasture. Many NGOs and government actors engage the management system at Dedha level.

6.2 土地使用者实施SLM的主要动机

  • 增加生产

The livestock was calving and reproducing very fast leading to increased production as a result of good management of land.

  • 增加利润(能力),提高成本效益比

With minimal and voluntary inputs the pastoralists keep livestock in the range and make a lot of profit when they sell.

  • 减少土地退化

The controlled grazing pattern led to regeneration of degraded rangelands and improved its ecosystem services.

  • 降低灾害风险

With strengthened dedha elders the community were able to prepare very well to drought and other disasters.

  • 减少工作量

Available pasture when needed reduced the challenges of mobility to far areas and excess workload.

  • 声望、社会压力/社会凝聚

The approach enhances local prestige and also reduces the incidences of conflict in tough times enhancing social cohesion.

  • 环境意识

The approach allows regeneration of natural vegetation as pastoralists preserve pasture in one grazing area as they grazing in the other.

  • 习俗和信仰,道德

The approach uses traditional etiquettes which enhances customs and beliefs.

  • 提高SLM知识和技能

The approach allows young people to learn and attain new knowledge on proper governance of natural resources as well the elders attain new contemporary skills to manage land.

  • 美学改进

The preserved grazing areas allows pasture to blossom and very beautiful to the eye as ecosystems regenerates and gets in to new life.

  • 冲突缓解

The approach reduces incidences of conflict as the use and stewardship of pasture and water is clearly defined.

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 traditional system of managing natural resources for pastoralists has been in place for time immemorial and it supports their way of life and even if there is minimal support from outside, such as the empowering approach, the SLM will still continue as it was developed by Boran pastoralists – who feel it is the most legitimate and appropriate system of governing rangelands in the region. This has been confirmed by many analytical studies of the system.

6.4 该方法的长处/优点

土地使用者眼中的长处/优势/机会
It is inherent approach that will pass to the next generation of pastoralists with the new innovations that are incorporated over the years.
It is the cheapest and easiest way of managing the rangelands for posterity.
It is a very flexible approach that's accepting new changes so that the technology is conversant at all times.
编制者或其他关键资源人员认为的长处/优势/机会
It is a legitimate system recognized by all pastoralist for management of their rangeland resources.
It is conservative and less costly to implement in the vast rangelands with little incentives.

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?
There is no law protecting it. The government need to establish a law that recognizes and protects the approach.
The changing social norms with globalization and diversification of livelihood is pausing a challenge like Commercial Pastoralism Government need to establish policies and plans as well as legislations that recognizes the traditional systems and institution for the approach to be successful for long
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?
There are many competing claims over rangeland resources and government supports some. Create awareness of local leaders about the competing claims and lobby them to protect rangeland resources.
