Several planned investments have been identified which can contribute directly to the aim of the GEFTF-LDCF project’s second component of enhancing resilience of degraded production landscapes vulnerable to climate impacts through rehabilitation efforts – including a major Green Climate Fund programme on climate change adaptation in the Niger Basin (including Mopti in Mali), which includes establishment of water points along transhumance corridors; and two partnerships with the Government of Canada through FAO on climate-resilient agriculture for food security. A project also funded by Canada, through IFAD, on access to finance for agricultural value chains, including in the central regions, will support the GEFTF-LDCF project’s third component, which aims to support family farms, youth and women to innovate and adopt resilient and sustainable livelihoods. Collaboration with private sector partners DoniLab and TETILISO (Mali Agribusiness Incubation Hub) is proposed for Output 3.2, supporting youth on climate-smart agribusiness incubation and technology for adaptation.

Ce Bien Mixte du Pays dogon a été inscrit au double titre des critères V et VII relatif à l’inscription des biens: V pour la valeur culturelle et VII pour la valeur naturelle. La gestion du site est assurée par une structure déconcentrée de proximité créée en 1993, relevant de la Direction Nationale du Patrimoine Culturel (DNPC) du Département de la Culture. 1. Résumé analytique du rapport Le site « Falaises de Bandiagara » (Pays dogon) est soumis à une rude épreuve occasionnée par la crise sociopolitique et sécuritaire du Mali enclenchée depuis 2012. Cette crise a pris une ampleur particulière dans la Région de Mopti et sur ledit site marqué par des tensions et des conflits armés intercommunautaires entre les Dogons et les Peuls. Un des faits marquants de la crise au Pays dogon est l’attaque du village d’Ogossagou le 23 mars 2019, un village situé à environ 15 km de Bankass, qui a causé la mort de plus de 150 personnes et endommagé, voire détruit des biens mobiliers et immobiliers.

Asian and African Studies, 2018, vol. 10, issue 3, pp. 330–339. https://doi.org/10.21638/spbu13.2018.304 Despite the increased attention to the Dogon by anthropologists and ethnologists, there are many “white spots” in the history and ethnography of this people. For example, not so long ago it was believed that they speak six languages; then their number grew steadily, and now linguists number already thirty Dogon languages, conditionally united in the family of Dogon languages of the macro-family of Niger-Congo; it is possible that there are even more of them. The history of migrations on the Bandiagara Highlands and the adjoining plains also remains poorly understood. All existing hypotheses, one way or another, based on oral traditions (of- ten without specifying the informant and/or source). Only to a small extent are they based on archaeological data. In addition to the “common Dogon” historical tradition, which states that this people came to the Plateau around the turn of the 16th century, there are historical legends of individual villages, their neighbourhoods and even families. They can be very different from the ‘general’ version. From this point of view, two oral histories of the village of Endé are of great interest.

    Décentralisation Et Reformulation Des Traditions En Pays Dogon Les Manifestations Culturelles Des Communes De Dourou Et Sangha

    Décentralisation et reformulation des traditions en pays dogon Les manifestations culturelles des communes de Dourou et Sangha Anne Doquet Anthropologue Chercher à rapprocher la tradition et la décentralisation en pays dogon peut sembler illusoire. Ce lien ténu est en effet difficilement perceptible, autant dans les discours des tenants du pouvoir tradi- tionnel, qui décrivent leurs activités comme totalement indépendan- tes des affaires communales, que dans les observations concrètes, les mouvements des traditions étant d’autant moins palpables que le processus est récent. Néanmoins, l’usage politique de la tradition n’est plus à démontrer1. En pays dogon, à la question de l’évolu- tion des traditions induite par l’instauration des communes, il est généralement répondu : aucune, ce n’est pas le « chemin » de la mairie. Cette stricte dissociation, qui traduit d’une part la volonté des responsables coutumiers de conserver leur légitimité face à l’arrivée d’un nouveau type de pouvoir et d’autre part, la suspicion des villageois à l’égard de la récente mairie, reste pourtant à creu- ser. Les découpages communaux peuvent en effet induire des scis- sions entre des villages auparavant liés par des affinités rituelles. Dans la région de Bandiagara c’est par exemple le cas du village de Pélou, qui partageait jusqu’alors ses cérémonies funéraires avec 1Voir notamment l’article de Jacky Bouju (1996, Tradition et identité.
