This is the first publication exclusively focusing on yak wool production and its commercialization, incorporating the socio-environmental narrative attached to High Asia region and its herders communities. A proposal is provided to set the ground for a first regional-level project to build a community-based yak wool production.
The report was produced by IFAD in collaboration with the YURTA Association.

Cette analyse a permis de faire le point sur les conflits liés aux ressources naturelles dans les trois pays du Liptako‑Gourma (Burkina Faso, Mali et Niger). Ce rapport de synthèse permet de mieux comprendre: (i) les différentes dynamiques de conflits et d’insécurité dans la région; (ii) les principales causes structurelles et les parties prenantes; (iii) la légitimité des différents types de mécanismes de gestion des conflits (mécanismes formels, traditionnels et non traditionnels); et (iv) d'évaluer leur efficacité en mettant l'accent sur la gestion adaptative et la planification de scénarios alternatifs.

This report provides the results of analyses conducted during FNS-REPRO’s inception phase in the Sudan, with the aim to inform its area-based interventions, thereby creating a common understanding of the context, and both the challenges and opportunities therein. The context analysis informs and co-creates design, approaches and operational responses, thereby also strengthening the FNS-REPRO learning agenda and evidence-based programming – focused on seed sector development. The publication provides a baseline for the four-year programme in the Sudan, together with the Resilience Baseline (RIMA) report.

Pour faire face à cet enjeu, l’Organisation des Nations Unies pour l’alimentation et l’agriculture (FAO), avec l’appui d’Action contre la faim (ACF), a initié entre avril et décembre 2020 un processus d’échanges et de dialogues entre les différentes parties prenantes du secteur agricole au niveau national et sous-régional dans un double objectif. Expérimenter un outil méthodologique innovant pour guider de façon pratique les acteurs du secteur de l’élevage et développer leurs capacités en matière de formulation, de mise en oeuvre et d’évaluation des politiques, programmes et investissements permettant de maximiser l’impact sur la nutrition et d’accélérer les progrès dans la lutte contre la malnutrition. Déterminer des recommandations politiques et programmatiques communes sur l’intégration de la nutrition dans le secteur de l'élevage à partir de leur expertise et de leur expérience techniques et institutionnelles dans les pays. L’approche méthodologique proposée allie la théorie à la pratique à travers le développement de la théorie du changement sectorielle ainsi que des chemins d’impact sous-sectoriels.

The question of how to better incorporate nutrition into the livestock sector is a challenge shared by many policymakers and programme managers at regional, national and local levels, due to a lack of proven methodological tools setting out how to effectively achieve this. In response to this challenge, Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), with support from Action Contre la Faim and World Vision, has developed an innovative stepwise approach that combines theory and practice by establishing a theory of change and associated impact pathways. This work was carried out as part of a consultative process involving expert stakeholders from Eswatini and Zimbabwe. The results obtained demonstrate the utility of this methodological process to help policy makers and technicians formulate and evaluate nutrition sensitive policies, programmes and interventions.

An online advisory and problem-solving service is helping livestock farmers to overcome challenges and increase production in Benin and other parts of West Africa. The private service grew out of a blog written by Louis Agbokou, who works as a livestock advisor at a government agricultural agency in Benin. During on-site visits to farms in the districts that he covered, the livestock engineer became increasingly convinced of the need for wide-ranging technical assistance, to be delivered remotely. The online service that he developed has proved effective in troubleshooting a range of livestock farmers’ problems. Advice is delivered via social media channels, as well as through email communication. The service has proved particularly popular with younger farmers and is provided on a fee-paying basis, while the blog can be accessed free of charge. The initiative shows that even small-scale ICT-based agricultural solutions can be effective, using basic digital tools and resources. The practice is particularly relevant during the COVID-19 pandemic when people are being urged to limit travel and face-to-face encounters.

Située dans la partie orientale du Niger, la région de Diffa est une vaste étendue semi-aride dont l'équilibre entre les activités agricoles et pastorales est rompu par une nouvelle concurrence pour l'accès aux ressources naturelles, mais aussi par des conflits entre éleveurs autochtones et pasteurs transhumants. Ce rapport de synthèse présente les principales conclusions de l'analyse des conflits en trois parties: (i) dresse un état des lieux des conflits liés à la transhumance; (ii) identifie les initiatives de prévention et de gestion des conflits; et (iii) formule des propositions pour améliorer l'efficacité des mécanismes de prévention et de gestion des conflits.
