Pathways out of poverty for Burkina Faso's reservoir-dependent communities

在面临环境退化和社会冲突的背景下，迫切需要以社区为基础对共同资源进行有效管理，以可持续地推动全世界人民朝着可持续发展目标所寻求的人类福祉水平迈进。在季节性干燥的热带地区，储存在水库中的水。由社区和州水管理机构共同管理，可以通过鱼类、牲畜和作物生产提供旱季收入和粮食安全，从而改变持续贫困地区人民的生活。然而，水和其他农业资源的不公平分配导致家庭和社区之间水库成本和收益的严重不平等。该项目将通过“创新平台”（ip）召集布基纳法索Boulgou省两个水库周围的利益相关者，为面对面的学习、交流和谈判提供空间。通过IPs，与水库相关的利益冲突的不同利益相关者将识别、比较和实施社区驱动的创新，以使土地、水和相关利益的管理和获取更加公平和可持续。我们将与当地社区和水管理机构合作，共同设计和测试与当地相关的指标和新的数据收集技术，以建立一个可靠的、当地拥有的水库资源监测系统。学生、推广人员和政府技术人员将接受有关自动气象站、基于移动电话的调查以及容易测量的土壤和水质指标的培训。该项目将填补有关因素和方法方面的知识空白，这些因素和方法有助于解决与心肺复苏管理和参与性监测系统发展有关的冲突。学术受益者包括从事参与性方法、冲突解决、社会公平和CPR管理的科学家。

Effective community-based management of common pool resources (CPR) in contexts facing environmental degradation and social conflict is urgently required to sustainably move people worldwide towards a decent level of human well-being, as sought in the Sustainable Development Goals. In the seasonally dry tropics, water stored in reservoirs. co-managed by communities and state water management agencies, can transform the lives of people in areas of persistent poverty by providing dry season income and food security through fish, livestock and crop production. Yet the inequitable distribution of water and other agricultural resources leads to stark inequalities in costs and benefits of reservoirs among households and communities. This project will convene stakeholders around two reservoirs in Boulgou province, Burkina Faso, through 'Innovation Platforms' (IPs) that provide spaces for face-to-face learning, exchange and negotiation. Through the IPs, differentiated stakeholders with conflicts of interests related to reservoirs will identify, compare and implement community-driven innovations to make management of and access to land, water and associated benefits more equitable and sustainable. In collaboration with local communities and water management institutes, we will co- design and test locally relevant indicators and novel data collection techniques to establish a reliable, locally owned reservoir resource monitoring system. Students, extension workers and government technicians will be trained on automatic weather stations, mobile phone based surveys, and easily measured indicators of soil and water quality. The project will fill gaps in knowledge regarding factors and approaches that enable the resolution of conflicts related to the management of CPR and the development of participatory monitoring systems. Academic beneficiaries include scientists working on participatory approaches, conflict resolution, social equity, and CPR management.
