Research and Development Project for Food Security and Adaptation to Climate Change of Rural Production Systems in Niger is in its second phase from April 2021 to March 2026.
Goal: 2026, 40,000 households with low resilience (to climate change) will have increased their food and nutritional security, in an equitable and sustainable manner, in 40 municipalities in 5 regions of Niger. This, through three specific objectives :
- Producers (men and women) have increased productivity and incomes and are resilient to climate change and shocks
- Young men and women are empowered and have increased employment and incomes, mainly through agro-pastoral value chains
- Vulnerable and pregnant/lactating women and children under 5 have better nutrition.
The final beneficiaries are small agro-pastoral producers, men, and women, belonging to vulnerable households and family farms (EAF), located in the project intervention area that meet the climate vulnerability criterion. Female-headed households, young people aged 15-35 and children aged 0-5 living on family farms in the intervention communities represent the impact group of the project.
Outputs
• Producers have adopted climate-resilient technologies/approaches in horticulture, rain-fed agriculture, and agro-pastoral production.
• Producers have increased their knowledge of improved technologies and integrated farming methods.
• Young men and women are engaged in employment and income generation (in agricultural value chains)
• Young men and women have improved their entrepreneurial skills and employment opportunities
• Vulnerable and pregnant/lactating women have adopted better nutrition and hygiene practices
• Vulnerable and pregnant/lactating women have better knowledge of the use of local and nutritious foods and practice
Narrative
The communal innovation platform (PCI) is an organization of producers structured from the villages to the commune. It is made up of several thematic groups, including that of women's organizations under the Mata Masu Dubara (MMD) model or ingenious women initiated by CARE a few decades ago.
As part of the social reconstitution of livestock as a mechanism for the development of livelihoods, these women's groups have initiated the purchase and provision to their members of animals managed on a rotating basis. It is the 'Habbanae' model inspired by a cultural practice of local nomads.
This activity, which concerns goat breeding for this group in the Commune of Aguié, REDSACCA's area of intervention, is highly appreciated by women in the Maradi region. The breed most in demand is that of the red goat because of its flesh and the color and resistance of its skin, but also because this breed multiplies very quickly (on average 2 births per year with 2 to 4 kids per year). farrowing).
This is how the network led by Nana Dan Sanda from the village under the Gide of the Alforma platform in Aguié initiated the Habbanayé system at the level of the MMD groups. The members agreed to withdraw a certain amount that could buy 12 goats, but upstream they first identified 12 women involved in a group who will be able to respect the dynamics retained by the group. After each birth the goat is given to another woman who is identified in advance to retrieve the goat, and so on until all the women selected each receive a goat which will multiply at home. Note that the women identified from the start to benefit from the Habbanayé are the most vulnerable women in the group, so it is a kind of mutual aid within the group. The results of this activity translate into the acquisition of animals by group members who will use these resources and livelihoods to develop their capacity to adapt to climate change. Animal maintenance is done through the introduction and use of technologies popularized by the REDSAACC project.
It is also in this sense that women are trained on the transformation of crop residues into very nutritious livestock feed for animals, as is the case with Mrs. SA'A, from the village of Kandusa, (Commune of Guidan Roumdji) member of the "Mata Masu Dubara (MMD)" group practicing the breeding of small ruminants (goats) such as
