water management
The CGIAR Challenge Program on Water and Food (CPWF) is a multi-institutional research for development program

that seeks to create and disseminate international public goods to improve the productivity of water in river basins in

ways that are pro-poor, gender equitable and environmentally sustainable. In doing so, CPWF contributes to efforts by

the global community to ensure that global diversions of water to agriculture are maintained at the level of the year

2000.

water management
The CGIAR Challenge Program on Water and Food (CPWF) brings together scientists, development

specialists, and communities, in nine river basins across Africa, Asia and Latin America, to address

challenges of water scarcity, food security and poverty.

Some CPWF projects seek to develop innovative technologies, new institutional arrangements, or

improved policies. Other projects strategically aim to better define issues and challenges,

understand processes and principles, and develop more appropriate research tools and methods.

Les études sur la transhumance ont souvent ciblé les pasteurs – notamment peuls – des zones sahéliennes. Pour en donner une autre perspective, la présente étude a été centrée sur les pratiques de la transhumance dans la zone soudano-sahélienne du Mali en intégrant la perception des agriculteurs et des pasteurs sédentaires concernés par la transhumance dans les zones d’accueil. Les scénarios envisageables pour le futur des systèmes pastoraux ont aussi été analysés. Les données ont été collectées à travers des groupes de discussion et des enquêtes individuelles.

Dryland regions in Sub-Saharan Africa are home to one-half of the region’s population and three-quarters of its poor. Poor both in natural resources and in assets and income, the inhabitants of drylands are highly vulnerable to droughts and other shocks. Despite a long history of interventions by governments, development agencies, and civil society organizations, there have been no sustained large-scale successes toward improving the resilience of drylands dwellers.
