Les mesures visant à contenir la propagation du covid-19 comprennent de fortes restrictions de circulation qui modifient considérablement la vie quotidienne et affectent les moyens de subsistance agricoles. Ces mesures sont particulièrement difficiles pour les populations rurales pauvres et vulnérables, qui ont tendance à occuper des emplois et des professions qui ne peuvent être exercés à distance. De nombreux pauvres dans le monde dépendent des espaces publics et des déplacements pour leurs moyens de subsistance, notamment le travail agricole saisonnier et les déplacements sur les marchés pour vendre ou acheter des produits et/ou des intrants, etc. Cette note explique comment les mesures de protection sociale pourraient protéger les ruraux pauvres de l'impact de la pandémie de covid-19, si celles-ci sont adaptées dans leur conception et leur mise en œuvre pour atteindre et répondre aux besoins des populations rurales. -

Ce système fondé sur les risques intègre ainsi les récentes découvertes et expériences en matière d’ÉPA, domaine qui continue d’évoluer avec la science et les exigences en matière de gestion des risques.

Book (stand-alone)Technical studyAquatic biodiversity in Rice-Based Ecosystems
Studies and reports from Indonesia, Lao PDR and the Philippines
2014Also available in:
No results found.This report contains the assessments of availability and use of aquatic organisms in rice ecosystems conducted in late 2013 in four sites in Indonesia (three in West Java and one in Bali), three sites in Xieng Khouang Province in Lao People’s Democratic Republic and four sites in three provinces on Luzon Island in the Philippines. A standard methodology was applied in conducting the assessments. The documentation was made of the animal and plant organisms found in the study sites and being colle cted by the people, the methods and tools to capture or gather them, and their uses as food, medicine and for other purposes. Local people have generally acknowledged a general decline in the abundance and diversity of the species. Factors included the intensification of rice cultivation accompanied by the use of chemical inputs, increasing exploitation driven by population increase and in some cases a high market demand for some species, and destructive fishing. Recommendations range from expan ding the study period to observe biodiversity changes during other seasons of the year, locally tailored management measures using the study sites as pilot areas, national policy that protect the ricefield ecosystem biodiversity and enhance their flow of services, extending the assessment to the value chain of the species which have an increasing market demand, to institutional arrangements and collaboration between national, regional and international agencies and organizations. Awareness raisi ng of the value of the products and services of ricefield ecosystems and capacity building for communities and government agencies for management of the ecosystem were strongly recommended. This was taken one step further in Lao PDR where a small pilot project was undertaken with the Department of Livestock and Fisheries, to develop improved methodologies for integrating work on the valuation of aquatic resources into local policy development processes. This included the development of local cap acity and demonstrated that a facilitated process of collaboration between local communities and local government agricultural extension officers, can successfully influence local policy and establish institutional mechanisms to sustain this work at both local and national levels. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical bookSustainable Land Management in Practice
Guidelines and Best Practices for Sub-Saharan Africa
2011Also available in:
Production of guidelines for best sustainable land management (SLM) technologies and approaches in Sub- Saharan Africa (SSA) has been part of TerrAfrica’s programme during 2009-2010. These guidelines and case studies are intended to help create a framework for investment related to SLM in SSA. The particular aim of these guidelines is to identify, analyse, discuss and disseminate promising SLM practices - including both technologies and approaches - in the light of the latest trends and new oppo rtunities. The focus is, in particular, on those practices with rapid payback and profitability and / or other factors that drive adoption. This document is targeted at key stakeholders in SLM programmes and projects at the design and implementation stages, including practitioners, managers, policymakers, planners, together with, financial and technical institutions, and donors. The guidelines are divided into two main parts. Part 1 highlights the main principles behind SLM, and what consider ations are important for technologies and approaches to qualify as ‘best practices’ suitable for upscaling. Part 2 presents twelve groups of SLM technologies as well as a section on SLM approaches. These are supported by specific case studies. Key resource persons and experts on SLM in SSA were asked to assist in finalising the SLM gr oups and to describe specific case studies. This strives to be a ‘state of the art’ product.
