    Citizenship is an abstract concept and therefore great care must be taken in explaining what it means in practice and what can effectively be done in the context of development interventions and policy. Development projects which enhance the ability of marginalised groups to access and influence decision-making bodies are implicitly if not explicitly working with concepts of citizenship. Citizenship is about concrete institutions, policy and structures and the ways in which people can shape them using ideas of rights and participation.

Numerous projects throughout Africa have shown that they result in improved soils, better yields and higher incomes for farmers. The document summarizes some of these experiences, points out successes, and – equally important – shows constraints and gaps that need to be addressed.

    تؤدي التربة السليمة دوراً هاماً في توفير المياه النقية والقدرة على الصمود في وجه الفيضانات والجفاف. وتنقية المياه من خلال التربة عملية تحتجز الملوثات وتمنعها من الرشح إلى المياه الجوفية. وعلاوة على ذلك، تُجمِّع التربة المياه وتخزنها، وبالتالي يمكن للمحاصيل امتصاصها، ويحد ذلك من التبخر السطحي ويزيد من كفاءة استخدام المياه والإنتاجية. ويمكن للتربة السليمة التي تحتوي على الكثير من المواد العضوية أن تخزِّن مقادير كبيرة من المياه.
