CAFHUT Village Baseline
No full textThis study consists of village level baseline data and other related materials generated as part of the ‘Sentinel Landscapes’ initiative. The village level baseline data was collected using four survey protocols designed by the International Forest Resources and Institutions (IFRI). The data collected is used to understand the relationship between communities, local governance and forests. Four IFRI protocols were used for this purpose:
(i) Forest Form
(ii) Settlement Form
(iii) Association Form and
(iv) Product Form.
The instruments facilitate the collection of political and institutional data at communal level for those communities that use those forests.
A total of 36 villages were surveyed in May, August and December 2014, November and December 2015, January 2016 from namely: Mbang_2, Nkolmveng, Ndelle, Yebe, Mekouma, Ngoumesseng, Nsan_Ii, Bifos, Niamvoudou, Abeng_Nnam, Ngola Baka, Kongo, Ngola Nzime, Achip_2, Eschiambor, Moanguele_Bosquet, Nemeyong_Iii, Mayang, Assok, Akom, Ekombitie, Nkolkoumou, Bite, Mboutoukong, Nkolfong, Lele, Tobagne, Yorro, Kedia, Bongando, Yangben, Batanga, Bakoa, Bougnougoulouck, Tchekos, Ossimb 1
Local knowledge of farmers on drivers and effects of tree cover change in Gobu Sayo woreda, East Wollega, Ethiopia
No full textIn a study conducted in Gobu Sayo woreda, Ongobo bakanisa kebele. Farmers identified 2 key drivers of land use change which had a huge impact on shaping the community. These changes took place during the Derg regime between 1974-1991 (1967 to 1983 Ethiopian Calendar). These are: Government’s Resettlement and land redistribution Policy and Establishment of Eucalyptus plantations. This study provides an in depth understanding of these changes, adoption of trees on farm, challenges encountered and trees preferred by farmers
Local Governance for Adapting to Climate Change (LGACC)
No full textThe objective of this project is to identify characteristics of land governance systems and property right regimes most likely to increase local households’ adaptive capacity across semi-arid and agro-pastoral areas of sub-Sahara Africa.
This dataset originates from a survey carry out in the Sondre Est pastoral Area of Burkina Faso and surrounding villages in order to understand the role of assets in building adaptive capacity of pastoral and agro-pastoral communities in Burkina Fas
Land and Soil Health Assessment in the Western Ghats Sentinel Landscape
No full textThe LDSF was carried out at two-100 km2 sites within the Western Ghats Sentinel Landscape in India: Madikeri, Amrutha, Kupaddy, Nilgris. Field teams were trained by Leigh Winowiecki and Tor-Gunnar Vågen in 2013 and field surveys were completed in 2016.
The LDSF is a spatially stratified, randomized sampling design, developed to provide a biophysical baseline at landscape level and a monitoring and evaluation framework for assessing processes of land degradation and effectiveness of rehabilitation measures over time.
Measured variables include: land cover, tree and shrub densities, tree biodiversity, erosion prevalence, infiltration capacity, along with an assessment of impact to habitat and occurrence of soil conservation structures. Soil samples were also collected (320 top (0-20 cm) and sub (20-50 cm) soil samples per site) and were processed in Burkina Faso. Processed samples were shipped to Nairobi and subjected to infrared spectroscopy and wet chemistry analysis. These combined data sets will be used to assess soil and ecosystem health for the landscape in more detail

Review of seeds and seedlings systems in Rwanda: Rubavu and Nyabihu districts
No full textKey informants’ survey on seeds and seedlings systems in were conducted in Rwanda to i) map out the tree seed and seedling supply system in order to establish the role of the government and NGOs in the systems, ii) assess the quality of the germplasm as mapped out in the seed sourcing, collection/ procurement and distribution and ultimately seedling production; and iii) identify the organizations and individuals dealing with tree seeds and seedlings, their roles, supply channels, the support given to tree seed dealers and nursery operators available, challenges encountered in the system and opportunities that exist. The findings were expected to give early indications of research and development interventions geared towards overcoming bottlenecks in the systems especially on networking, information sharing and system sustainability.
