    Managing resources in erratic environments

    Reports & Research
    January, 2004
    Niger, Eastern Africa, Burkina Faso, Ethiopia
    rangelands

    This study analyzes the links between risk and the kinds of property rights that have evolved to provide the mobility necessary to raise livestock in drought-prone countries--in this case Burkina Faso, Ethiopia, and Niger. The study also evaluates the impact of cooperation on resource management in these environments. The express purpose of this research is to contribute to the current debate on resource management in highly variable environments, focusing on the impact of climate variability on and the role of cooperation in resource management.

    In the future scenario for livestock development, there is a continuing role for smallholder producers, particular for dairy and small ruminants, relying heavily on grass and crop-residues, however in a growth mode, intensifying production, and enhancing the efficiency of resource use (less land, labor and feed resources per unit product). In particular improving the efficiency of converting feed into milk and meat will be critical to increase their income.

    This paper presents the initial data analyses of the CCAFS gender survey implemented in four sites in Africa. Using descriptive statistics we show gender differences in terms of perceptions of climate change, awareness and adoption of climate smart agricultural (CSA) practices, and types and sources of agro-climatic information in the four sites.We find that both men and women are experiencing changes in long-run weather patterns and that they are changing their behaviours in response; albeit relatively minor shifts in existing agricultural practices.

    The Niger River Basin covers 7.5% of the African continent, and is shared between nine riparian

    countries. The basin countries can be categorized into water resources producers, consumers, both

    producers and consumers, and minimum contributors and consumers. As in the case for most

    transboundary rivers, upstream and downstream conflicts emanating from the development and

    utilization of the Niger River are inevitable and are expected to be intense, particularly given the
