Training, information and awareness raising Cape Verde – Formação, Informação e Sensibilização (Portuguese) Integration of stakeholders in the implementation of natural resource conservation activities. Aim / objectives: Immediately after independence, the Cape Verde government initiated in collaboration with its international partners an unprecedented campaign of afforestation. Its main goal consists of fighting desertification and the drought impacts that previously produced thousands of victims and forced migration of the Cape Verde population. Methods: Among the specific objectives are: 1) reduction of soil erosion; 2) firewood production improvement for rural families; 3) better land production; and 4) land user vulnerability mitigation. Stages of implementation: To achieve this objective, the Cape Verde government was in need of labour provided by the population, which was easily accepted. With the financial and technical support of the government, municipalities, international projects of rural development (FAO, GTZ, etc.), NGOs (Platforms of Local and National Associations,), the technical assistance of the Rural Development Ministry (MDR) and the help of the local population, nowadays, more than 20% of the surface area of the archipelago is planted with trees. Several steps have been reached: firstly the population has been prepared (information, awareness raising and training), then reconnaissance, topographical surveys and treatments of watershed were carried out where plantations were established. It was also necessary to import seeds from many countries, to create nurseries, to treat seeds and to train Cape Verde technicians. Role of stakeholders: The role of the population was to participate in field work, to work in collaboration with the MDR technicians, to operate the nursery and finally to transport the seedlings to the field and plant them. All these steps were achieved with the technical support of the MDR and some fund providers. The village suffers from substantial soil erosion, amounting to 6-10,000 tons per square km per year before the afforestation campaigns. The slopes are very steep (around 20-35 degrees). The main income of local farmers is from orchards. SLM Approach: Training, information and awareness raising, Cape Verde DESIRE – WOCAT 2012 Above left: One of the key steps in the participatory approach is good socialization so that all stakeholders (with 15 partner groups) are well informed of the various stages of project (Photo: Jacques Tavares) Above right: Photograph taken during a field trip to exchange ideas, experiences and viewpoints in the field (basin of Longueira) to understand better the problems of desertification (aridity) and land degradation (caused by runoff) (Photo: Jacques Tavares) Location: Watershed of Ribeira Seca, Island of Santiago, Cape Verde Approach area: 71.5 km 2 Type of Approach: project/ programme based Focus: on conservation only WOCAT database reference: QA CPV001e on cdewocat.unibe.ch/wocatQA DESIRE site information: www.desirehis.eu/en/ribeira-seca-cape-verde Related technology(ies): Fruit tree afforestation (QT CPV03), Aloe vera live barriers (QT CPV06).

Problem, objectives and constraints Problems: - desertification, drought, lack of water, erosion, loss of soil fertility, low soil cover, lack of firewood, loss of biodiversity, - low take-up by the local population in the management of technologies (soil and water conservation measures), the low education level of some farmers including women, and the degree of land user poverty. Aims / Objectives: - fight against the desertification and the drought impacts, - improvement of the living standards of the local population and particularly of the rural population through vegetation and animal production increase Constraints addressed Constraints Treatments Financial Hydraulic measures such as check dams and contour wall stones need more financial resources Legal / land use and / water rights Lack of mechanisms for the implementation and the monitoring of created laws Social / cultural / religious Land tenure problems and socio-economic vulnerability of rural families Participation and decision making Better involvement of the donors and the State Boosting the local authorities (town council) and the main community associations so that they can be taken as a model. Strengthening the awareness raising activities for large land owners about land conservation to protect the long term productivity. Balancing the socio-economical gap between urban and rural communities by supporting farmers, pastoralists and associations Stakeholders / target groups *Approach costs met by: International 50.2% Government 49.8% Total 100% SLM specialists / agricultural advisors land users, individual, groups planners politicians / decision makers Total budget: 15,119,500 US$ *In the framework of the project of management and enhancement of Picos and Engenhos watersheds on Santiago Island (2005-2010) Decisions on choice of the Technology (ies): mainly by SLM specialists with consultation of land users Decisions on method of implementing the Technology(ies): mainly by SLM specialists with consultation of land users Approach designed by: national specialists, international specialists Implementing bodies: international, government, NGOs, local community / land users Land user involvement Phase Involvement Activities Initiation/motivation Capacity building Planning none accelerated method of participatory research (rapid rural appraisal?), interviews/questionnaires, workshops/seminars Implementation payment intermittent works, responsibilities over small steps Monitoring/evaluation none Research none Differences between participation of men and women: Yes, moderate Generally women stay at home for the household. That is why 40% of the homes are managed by women, because men migrate to other areas or countries (women as heads of families). Involvement of disadvantaged groups: Yes, great More than 80% of land users in Cape Verde have small incomes. Land users are involved in all the work carried out in the field implementation steps. More than 90% of the workforce comes from socially and economically disadvantaged groups. 202 DESIRE – WOCAT Desire for Greener Land
