Securing pastoral land systems in Niger by strengthening land governance

General

The project aims to implement part of the FAO Voluntary Guidelines for Responsible Governance of Tenure of Land, Fisheries and Forests in the Context of Food Security. It also fits perfectly into the framework and guidelines for land policies in Africa of the Land Policy Initiative (LPI). This project is designed to carry out the national inventory of pastoral spaces and pastoral resources and to strengthen the structures of the Rural Code and the realization of the land development plan in two regions, namely Dosso and Zinder, which benefit from the support of the Sector Development Support (PADSR) funded by the European Union under the 10th EDF. Within the context of improving food security, the project aims to implement parts of the Voluntary Guidelines on the Responsible Governance of the Tenure of Land, Fisheries and Forests (VGGT). It is further aligned with the Framework and Guidelines on Land Policy in Africa (F&G) by the Land Policy Initiative (LPI). In particular, the project aims at securing pastoral land systems in Niger. It sets out to create a national inventory of rangelands and pastoral resources. Further, the project will strengthen the structures under the Rural Code and implement land development schemes in two areas, namely the Dosso and Zinder regions that benefit from the support of the 'Projet d'Appui au Developpement du Secteur (PADSR)' under EU funding from the 10th EDF.

Securing ownership to land

In addition, 30 GPS receivers will be acquired for surveying of property boundaries •Improvement of the IT-system for property registration. Today, this system is spread over several different components. This project will seek to harmonise the components and create one system. •Updating of property maps and register for 20% of the country where maps and register are still not up to date with new private properties

Family Farming Development Programme in Maradi, Tohoua and Zinder Regions (PRODAF)

General

The programme aims to help sustainably guarantee food and nutrition security and rural households' resilience to crises in the Maradi, Tahoua and Zinder regions. It aims to increase the income of 290,000 farmer households, their resilience to external shocks, including climate change, and their access to local, urban and regional markets. Sustainable land and watershed management practices will improve water infiltration in the aquifer, reduce erosion and silting, and will thus help to mitigate the constraints and effects of climate change in watershed areas. Activities address the recovery of 10,450 ha of degraded land and 7000 ha of watershed areas, the fixation of dunes around the basins on about 2000 ha and the development of 2500 ha of silvo-pastoral area. Further it is planned to develop a small-scale irrigation system on 5000 ha land. With regard to natural resource governance, the programme will support the wide dissemination of the existing legislation, the assessment of the land tenure situation before and after programme interventions, the negotiation of sustainable management methods for the developed land and the formation or revitalization of community organizations. These activities will enhanced through the continuous support to Niger's Rural Code and to land commissions at different levels.
