PROJECT DESCRIPTION (DE)
Context
Most people in West Africa live in rural areas. To earn their living, they farm and raise livestock, use timber and non-timber products, and hunt game. They also have to share scarce water resources.
This repeatedly leads to conflicts between land users, particularly between nomadic pastoralists and sedentary farmers. Rapid population growth, global climate change, exploitative land-use practices, and inadequate governance have put natural resources under severe pressure. As a result, violent conflicts between the various groups that depend on these resources are becoming increasingly frequent.
Non-state armed groups are increasingly exploiting the tense situation and the weak state presence in rural regions to impose their social models that violate human rights.
A group gathers around a map.
Objective
Nomadic pastoralists, farmers, and other actors in rural areas use available natural resources in an inclusive, peaceful, and sustainable manner and resolve conflicts without violence.
Approach
The project supports the development of civil conflict resolution capacities among political, administrative, and traditional actors, with a focus on the various legal regulations that regulate the use and managemen
