Project Information
| Project Name: | DANIDA - Diffa Pastoral HLS |
| Project Description: | |
| Diffa region, eastern Niger is essentially a pastoral zone, characterized in recent times by a localized civil war and conflict between ethnic groups over water and pasture resources. The project goal is to improve livelihood security for 500 pastoral households and communities by improving management techniques to address annual variations in pastureland and inter-communal peace processes. Project interventions include: 1) developing the capability of households to manage fluctuations in natural resources, using a gender-sensitive approach and helping to rehabilitate the household economies (especially those of the women); 2) promoting strategies for management of natural resources (in particular water and pasture) for families and communities, and between communities of users (temporary and permanent), in particular in situations of pasture deficit or drought; 3) and reinforcing the capacities of civil society by partnering with key groups to increase their ability to combat pastoral poverty and maintain civil order. | |
