    Le processus d’élaboration de la politique foncière rurale du Niger relève d’une certaine continuité de questionnements suscités par la mise en œuvre des POCR [Principes d’Orientation du Code Rural] . En effet, depuis l’an 2000, les principaux acteurs du processus « Code Rural » ont institué des Ateliers Nationaux des Cofo (ANACO) tous les deux ans, sous l’égide du SP/CNCR. Ces rencontres biennales ont animé et entretenu une réactualisation continue des questions/réponses pertinentes pour les différents acteurs de la gestion foncière rurale au Niger.

    Niger

    Le développement rural est une préoccupation centrale des politiques nigériennes depuis l’Indépendance. À cette époque, un certain optimisme était de mise quant aux potentialités de développement du secteur. Les épisodes de sécheresse des années 1970 et 1980, en révélant la crise des systèmes agraires – crise écologique et crise de la production – ont imposé au Niger de revoir sa politique de développement rural et ses modes d’intervention.

    Located in the arid and semi-arid areas of West Africa, the Sahel has undergone profound changes over the past 50 years. Known for the prevalence of land degradation processes, the Sahel is suffering from the combined negative effects of population growth, human activities and climate variability, resulting in recurrent droughts and the continued decline of natural resources and land productivity.

    ‘Over the past three decades hundreds of thousands of farmers in Burkina Faso and Niger, on the fringes of the Sahara Desert, have transformed large swathes of the region’s arid landscape into productive agricultural land, improving food security for about three million people. Once-denuded landscapes are now home to abundant trees, crops, and livestock.'

    Unless countries can manage to mobilize millions of land users to invest their scarce resources in protecting regenerating trees, the battle against land degradation cannot be won. These experiences from Niger show that hundreds of thousands of smallholder farm families have substantially increased tree cover on their farm land by investing in the management of on-farm trees. This has improved their production systems and their livelihoods. There is no reason to believe that similar success cannot be achieved in many more countries throughout African drylands and sub-humid area.

    When the IFAD-funded project started in 1988, few people could have imagined that 15 years later the degraded plateaus would be covered with trees on land restored to production by individual smallholder farmers. And no one imagined that a village on a barren degraded plateau would one day produce enough vegetables to meet its own needs and produce a surplus for sale, because water levels in the wells had risen so much.
