La video présente 5 scenarios du pastoralisme dans le développement local, construits par une expertise participative de la FAO et ses partenaires (CIRAD, ISRA et organisations locales) au Burkina-Faso et au Togo en 2019-2020. La prospective territoriale participative fournit aux décideurs un espace de dialogue original. 5 scenarios sont décrits: Idéal, Oasis du désert, Crise locale, Transhumance malgré tout, Espoirs mitigés. Les acteurs locaux travaillent ensemble pour faire des propositions concrètes aux autorités politiques. A travers la compréhension holistique du territoire, ils imaginent un développement transfrontalier réalisant une gouvernance territoriale efficiente pour vivre en harmonie.

La vidéo présente une méthode d’analyse des enjeux de la transhumance transfrontalière, mobilisant la réflexion sur le futur : la prospective territoriale. La méthode a été utilisée au cours d’une étude de cas participative conduite par la FAO et ses partenaires (CIRAD, ISRA et organisations locales) au Burkina Faso et au Togo en 2019-2020, pour permettre aux acteurs locaux d’imaginer différents futurs pour leur territoire, et comprendre comment et pourquoi ces futurs peuvent se produire. Deux questions ont été posées: quels pourraient être les futurs du territoire transfrontalier entre Togo et Burkina Faso en 2035? Quels rôles et quelles fonctions pourrait jouer le pastoralisme dans ces futurs ? Les participants identifient et hiérarchisent les forces motrices et construisent des scenarios.

This video presents a way of thinking about the issue of cross-border transhumance by mobilizing a reflection on the future: territorial foresight. The method was implemented during a participative case study conducted by FAO and partners (CIRAD, ISRA, and local organizations) in Burkina Faso and Togo in 2019-2020, with the purpose of enabling local actors to imagine different futures for their territory and to understand how and why these futures may occur. Two main questions were raised: what could be the future of the border territory between Togo and Burkina Faso in 2035? What could then be the roles and functions of pastoralism in these futures? Participants identify and prioritize the driving forces and build scenarios.

The VGGT Popular Version for Communal Land Administration was developed to support the Parliament of Namibia in delivering training to traditional authorities and regional institutions to enhance their capacity to administer communal land within their jurisdictions. This was carried out in line with the Communal Land Reform Act, Act 5 of 2002 and the resolutions of the 2nd National Land Conference. The Popular Version outlines 14 pertinent land governance issues in Namibia’s communal areas. These issues which were validated by the MAWLR are discussed briefly and followed by identifying key messages of the VGGT that are relevant within the context of communal land administration in Namibia.

With climate change impacts already felt in the world’s drylands, there is an urgent need for action, at various scales and initiated by different stakeholders, to ensure the sustainability of food production and livelihoods in these regions in the coming decades. There is also the need to rapidly establish baselines, assess and start monitoring progress on sustainability, emerging as result of the action taken. To aid in this effort, the Building climate-resilient dryland forests and agrosilvopastoral production systems will provide a short list of expected transformations (under each of the three sustainability pillars) for guiding the planning and implementation of policy, governance and practice-level actions. The paper will also present case studies portraying actions that led to progress in sustainability and directly related to the expected transformations.

This policy brief is intended to inform decision-makers of nine transformational actions to sustain dryland production systems under the impact of climate change. It highlights the relevance of the local context for interventions and the importance of traditional and tested adaptive agrosilvopastoral strategies for building resilience. In addition, it emphasizes the potential for scaling up and using complementary technologies over wider areas. In particular, the roles of both women and men should not be neglected in terms of maintaining, creating and restoring dryland sustainable landscapes.
