Impacts of the different climate hazards on community resources | Desired future (10 years) | Actions needed/suggested by the communities | Support requested and partners targeted by the communities |
---|---|---|---|
Natural resources | |||
Poor harvests | Communities’ crop production is enough to feed themselves well and keep surplus stocks | Organize producers Revitalize partnership with projects Diversify sources of production and improve management (savings, behavior change) Acquire improved and adapted seeds Restore soil fertility (FMNR, compost, etc.) Develop counter-season crops with emphasis on the construction of ponds and digging of wells | Agricultural and meteorological council (CCAFS) Improved seeds fertilizers (CCAFS, State, PAFA) Farming material (State, PAFA, CNCAS) Capacity building (ISRA, PAFA, WV, EGABI, ANCAR, SDDR) Enhancement of forest resources (fruits, firewood) Warehouse and storage (CRS, WV, PAFA, State, CR) |
Decline in livestock production | Increased number of animals, their health and their conformation improved | Feed from unharvested by-products Improve animal food rations Stabilized livestock Use of veterinary services and improved breeds | Financial credits (financial partners) to rural council strengthen animal production activity Provision of veterinary services (private or State) Stem crusher—ISRA (training), Ministry of Livestock Training—EGABI, ANCAR, ISRA, livestock service |
Destruction of crops due to parasitism | Eradication of parasites from the locality | Introduce the request to the DPV Treat using neem, salt and chemicals in infested areas. Fight against Striga through application of small animals’ dung | Monitor DPV to consider pests Capacity building on techniques to fight against pests (DPV, ANCAR) |
Destruction of farmlands due to erosion (water and wind) | Controlled water erosion Better management of farmlands to avoid erosion | Raise awareness of the populations Build small dikes Dig small water storage basin Windbreaks (shield to reduce the force of the wind) with adapted species (Eucalyptus, Faidherbia, etc.) Promote FMNR and reforestation Organize the monitoring of plantations | Soil conservation and restoration measures Capacity building in making stone barrages or gabions (ISRA, rural council , forestry, ANCAR) Support local nurseries with seeds and water provision—forestry, WV, CR Training—forestry, ANCAR, WV, ISRA |
Destruction of harvests and post-harvests due to parasitism | Total eradication of parasites | Chemical treatment of crops Wind breaks to protect crops Regular stock control | Warehouse (WFP PAFA, ANCAR, State) Capacity building (ANCAR, DPV) |
Decline in market garden production | Increased incomes derived from market gardening | Give more land access to women for establishing market gardening plots More access to resources to hire labor | Improved means of pumping wells Phyto-therapy (ISRA/Agricole, ANCAR, WV) |
Livestock death | No more livestock death due to flooding | Construction of brick enclosures Fence houses | Financial support (grants) Housing loans—PAMECAS, CMS, CNCAS |
Human resources | |||
Resurgence of diseases due to drought and rainfall breaks | Total eradication of diseases related to drought and rainfall breaks | Be sheltered from winds Prevention against diseases Improving children’s nutrition | Strengthen the health unit to better treat diseases caused by drought Fruit trees for diversifying the starchy diet Program to improve child nutrition (PRN and CLM) |
Physical resources | |||
Destruction of trails | Tarred roads in the place of trails | Advocacy with authorities | Decentralized cooperation (PAFA) |
Destruction of houses | All houses built with bricks | Savings for construction Advocacy for rural housing Replace stubble with zincs then with terraces | Construction of rural houses Financial support (grants) Housing loans—PAMECAS, Senegal Mutuel Loan CMS, CNCAS |
Financial resources | |||
Lack of appropriate financial scheme | Have better access financial resources to construct bricks houses | Diversify sources of income (trade, breeding, etc.) Save on income Mutualization/cooperative of resources/means | Financial institution (CNCAS, ACEP, CMS, PAMECAS) for savings and credit financing |
Increased poverty | Poverty alleviation | Diversify sources of income (trade, breeding, etc.) | Access to credits (CMS PAMECAS, ACEP) Organizational dynamics and training (ISRA, ANCAR) |
Social resources | |||
Weak functioning of existing institutions/organizations | Dynamic, autonomous, well-structured and functional organizations and strengthened partnership | Share information between various organizations Strengthen community actions Seek a consultation forum Establish village organizations | Establishment of a framework for meetings (headquarters, executive office)—CR, State, WV, PAFA Training—ISRA, WV |
