In West Africa, especially in the Sahelian countries of Burkina Faso, Niger, Mali and Mauritania, erratic rainfall sequences within and between years has often led to a high uncertainty in rainfed crop production. Over the past three decades, severe food shortages attributed to drought have been frequently reported in several Sahelian countries, most of which are amongst the least developed of the world. Innovative and indigenous ways to achieve improved crop yields through integrated land and water management such as rainwater harvesting and soil water conservation have been successfully tested and, in some cases, adopted in West Africa. This paper highlights the successful interventions of improved indigenous rainwater harvesting/soil water conservation technologies such as Zaï or tassa, stone rows and half-moon in the Sahelian zones of West Africa over the past 10 years, and their contributions to enhancing food security and alleviating poverty. The potential for adoption of these technologies at the farm level and their outscaling to areas with similar agroecological zones are also discussed.

Global demand for wheat, rice, corn, and other essential grains is expected to steadily rise over the next twenty years. Meeting this demand by increasing production through increased land use is not very likely; and while better crop management may make a marginal difference, most agriculture experts agree that this anticipated deficit must be m

This book is open access under a CC BY 4.0 license. This book aims to inspire decision makers and practitioners to change their approach to climate planning in the tropics through the application of modern technologies for characterizing local climate and tracking vulnerability and risk, and using decision-making tools. Drawing on 16 case studies conducted mainly in the Caribbean, Central America, Western and Eastern Africa, and South East Asia it is shown how successful integration of traditional and modern knowledge can enhance disaster risk reduction and adaptation to climate change in the tropics. The case studies encompass both rural and urban settings and cover different scales: rural communities, cities, and regions. In addition, the book looks to the future of planning by addressing topics of major importance, including residual risk integration in local development plans, damage insurance and the potential role of climate vulnerability reduction credits. In many regions of the tropics, climate planning is growing but has still very low quality. This book identifies the weaknesses and proposes effective solutions.

Le mil constitue, avec le sorgho, la base de l’alimentation d’une part importante des populations indiennes et africaines. Au Niger, deuxième pays producteur en Afrique, cette culture représente les trois quarts de la production céréalière et occupe plus de la moitié des terres cultivées. C’est en Afrique de l’Ouest que se situent les zones d’origine et de diversification des mils cultivés (Penniselum glaucum subsp. glaucum) et l’on peut encore y trouver des populations de la forme sauvage (P. glaucum subsp. monodii). Mieux conserver, évaluer et valoriser ces ressources génétiques, tels sont les enjeux exposés lors de l’atelier « Ressources génétiques des mils et plantes associées en Afrique de l’Ouest » organisé à Niamey en 2002. L’IRD et ses partenaires y ont présenté une synthèse des résultats de recherches pluridisciplinaires (génétique, agronomie, anthropologie) sur le rôle des pratiques paysannes dans la dynamique de la diversité génétique des mils sauvages et cultivés au Niger. Cet atelier a également permis de confronter les expériences et conclusions d’autres équipes et a contribué à la réflexion sur les stratégies de conservation (in et ex situ) et de valorisation des ressources génétiques des mils et de quelques autres plantes cultivées dans les agrosystèmes sahéliens.
