L’évaluation a examiné le processus de mise en œuvre du projet et les résultats en matière de consolidation de la paix en République centrafricaine et au Tchad. Des retombées positives sont enregistrées dans les deux pays, tant du fait de la mise en place d'infrastructures (puits, cartographie des zones de transhumance) que de nouveaux processus de résolution des conflits à travers la discussion et la prévention. Il apparaît essentiel de développer une approche plus réaliste et sensible aux traditions locales en matière de genre/jeunes et de gestion des conflits, en collaboration avec les chefs traditionnels et les femmes.

This handbook calls for the legal recognition and securing of pastoral mobility as a way of safeguarding and facilitating a continuous stream of economic and social benefits for pastoralists, countries, and the environment. It facilitates a deeper understanding of pastoral mobility through examples and case studies drawn from various parts of the world and identifies considerations to be borne in mind when legislating for mobility.

The rangelands of West Asia and North Africa (WANA) region - which includes the Maghreb and Mashreq, Turkey and other countries of the Arabian Peninsula - are conducive to different patterns of pastoral resource management, due to the prevailing arid and mountainous conditions. Environmental change in the region is quite intense, resulting from population growth, shifts in land use and climate dynamics, and is one of the main drivers of socio-economic and political transformation in the region. The recent history of WANA drylands is one of strained economic development, stressed community networks and degraded ecosystems; the broader implications of the political and economic marginalisation of drylands have significant impacts for the entire WANA region and society.

Le projet a produit des effets encourageants et tangibles qui laissent augurer que les populations épouseront à l'avenir des comportements et attitudes favorables au dialogue et à la gestion pacifique des conflits. Compte tenu du succès des clubs Dimitra, leur mise en place dans un plus grand nombre de villages permettrait de mettre en place des réseaux qui pourraient avoir un impact sur d’autres types de problématiques.

Cette synthèse présente la méthode et les résultats d’une recherche participative menée de chaque côté de la frontière entre le Burkina Faso et le Togo, où les questions de transhumance sont intégrées dans une prospective sur le territoire transfrontalier. Les crises affectant le pastoralisme dans la région subsaharienne depuis quelques années s’inscrivent dans des conflits territoriaux. La méthode innovante de prospective territoriale permet aux acteurs locaux et aux décideurs de replacer le pastoralisme dans le développement transfrontalier et de s’extraire des tensions actuelles en imaginant différents futurs pour leur territoire. 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?
