land tenure
Land, fisheries, forests and other natural resources provide a basis for livelihoods and social, cultural and religious practices. However, most people in rural areas in developing countries do not have any form of documentation to protect their land and natural resources rights, which puts their livelihoods and consequently their food and nutrition security are at risk. Secure tenure rights promote responsible investment in agriculture that could increase productivity and enhance food security and nutrition.

rural development
Secure tenure rights and control over land for women and men farmers are key to boosting smallholder productivity, rural development and food security. However, in many parts of the world, men and women have inadequate access to secure property rights over land. Women are particularly disadvantaged: even though they constitute on average 43 percent of the agricultural labour force in developing countries, women’s ownership of agricultural land remains significantly lower than that of men.

Sustainable Development Goal 1, ending poverty in all its forms, everywhere, is the most ambitious goal set by the 2030 Agenda. This Goal includes eradicating extreme poverty in the next 12 years, which will require more focused actions in addition to broad-based interventions. The question is: How can we achieve target 1.1 and overcome the many challenges that lie ahead? By gaining a deeper understanding of poverty, and the characteristics of the extreme rural poor in particular, the right policies can be put in place to reach those most in need.

Depuis 2013, l’insurrection de Boko Haram et sa répression ont entraîné des bouleversements majeurs dans la région du lac Tchad. Les pasteurs et leurs troupeaux, en particulier, ne peuvent plus circuler librement et n’ont plus accès à certains parcours. Hier au cœur d’une économie informelle et d’une intégration régionale « par le bas » très dynamique, l’élevage pastoral connaît actuellement une crise inédite dans la région. Quelles en sont les caractéristiques ? Comment penser son développement dans un tel contexte?
