Environmental policy and administrative management

Project summary background and rationale: in Comoros, d land and forest degradation is a serious s threat for sustainable development d of the country. Diboini is part of the villages of grande Comore with still a vast community terroir. R region is home to the Diboini plateau which is an important site for the agricultural development d. However, there is increasingly a d degradation of soils with a permanent erosion effects conjugate s actions of man (brousses, crops burn lamps). Indeed, the village is has as main activity l lifting and agriculture. Annuity products have lost their values, l lifting has lost his place of first rank as activity g n spin-offs of income (savings) by the Federation of disease outbreaks that d top livestock goat and cattle. R reduce pressures on natural resources and am improving the living conditions of the population, especially those of women and young peasants of the region r, it is imperative imp d activities develop alternative substitution. The reforestation of the area of more than 200 Ha for l exploitation of wood heating, d work and service and l lifting goats and cattle are just alternatives to allow better management of space and creating d a microclimate favourable to d agricultural development of the area. This work of reforestation insiders by GSP and GDT repr projects presents a community engagement r implementation of this project. Cabri and made beef meat part of the mets most ci s appr by Comorians mainly through large weddings. But it lies as the production at the local level, r regional, or even national, do not, lay in terms of quantity or quality, to the needs of the population. A Diboini as in the whole of l, we practiced as a traditional lift, animals are permit s in straying days and nights and the syst me p grazing n is not yet well developed in the country. N ignores d independence of the mati re import meat mostly foreign countries and the consumption of the meat keeps increasing. In saw (d) increase the capacity of l savings and to satisfy the need of the local consumer in mati re of meat, the introduction of new breeds am lior goat and bovine seems a good initiative d. D waste of goats and cattle can be used as mati re organic and fertilizer for crops maraich res and res vivri by promoting the restoration of soils. C is as l introduction of race am lior e l lifting of goats and cattle is an AGR that can help increase d a re mani cons quente income of the inhabitants of Diboini. This project (d) support the sustainable management of soils and l am improvement of livestock goat and cattle to the GSP is compl additional actions s insiders by project management sustainable land and who will be consolid s programmatically d adaptation to climate change by report l water. The choice introducing breeds am lior es has withheld the fact that they have a capacity of production more lev e. The implementation of this project is very promising l scale village, local, or even national. Indeed, any d pend d good management and an accompaniment of public technical services with support from associations mobilis and a strong partnership of the whole of stakeholders concern s. 1.2 organizational context and the ability to implement the project (1page) the grouping of farmers in Diboini is a non-political Association and not-for-profit. She saw the day in 1998 Diboini and aims to r lay pr environmental concerns existing in the region especially r in the Diboini plateau. These members include farmers exp rhyme s in the fields of environment and agriculture, fight against diseases v g tales and management of soil, the peasants, the ranchers, young people and women. Throughout its existence, it has achieved much d activit s used for d l erosion of soils and land management and development from l agriculture l lifting. It s is invested in l organization of several activities that r lay the mathematical problem biodiversity and l environment l agriculture including:-Animation of the activit s maraich re and d lifting in the area of the plateau of diboini; -Awareness of the peasants for l am improvement of agricultural activities; -Put in place of the p res pini wanting community increase the capacity of production of fruit and forest plants; -Launch of the campaigns of reforestation in the plateau of Diboini in partnership with GDT Colloquium and GSP. 1.3Objectifs project and results expected (1 page) overall objective: project d creating a favorable microclimate to d development of agricultural activities and l lifting goat and cattle in the village of Diboini while pr serving and maintaining their biological and natural resources
